Applied Materials
Centura AP AdvantEdge G 5 Dry
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA dry etcher removes patterned material from a wafer by exposing selected areas to reactive process gases in a controlled plasma-based etch environment.
A dry etcher is used with separate process chambers that can be configured for different gas chemistries and etch steps.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA dry etcher sits in the pattern transfer portion of semiconductor fabrication after lithography has defined the pattern to be etched.
A dry etcher is followed by downstream cleaning, inspection, and later process steps that depend on the etched topography.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Applied Materials Centura AP AdvantEdge G 5 Dry is a semiconductor dry etch tool used for pattern transfer on processed wafers.
