What it is
The Applied Materials Centura DPS 2 532 is a metal etcher designed for semiconductor manufacturing.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe system maintains vacuum integrity throughout processing. Process gases are introduced into the chamber and partially ionized to form reactive species that chemically and physically etch the exposed metal. Endpoint detection typically monitors optical emission or reflectivity to determine when the metal layer is cleared.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedUpstream processes include metal deposition (sputtering or evaporation) and lithography to define the etch mask. Downstream steps involve resist removal, wet cleaning to eliminate sidewall residues, and metrology to verify critical dimensions and profile.
