Abstract

An apparatus for depositing a thin film on a substrate using atmospheric pressure atomic-layer deposition includes a chamber having an atmosphere and a moveable substrate. A stationary support is located in the chamber that supports the moveable substrate. A pressurized-fluid source provides a compound fluid flow including an inert fluid surrounding a reactive fluid that flows simultaneously through the stationary support and impinges on at least a portion of the moveable substrate to fluidically levitate the moveable substrate and expose the moveable substrate to the compound fluid flow to deposit a thin film on the moveable substrate.
