What it is

The Applied Materials Centura DPS 2 G 3 is an etch tool for semiconductor manufacturing.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An etch tool removes selected material from a wafer surface by exposing the wafer to a controlled plasma or reactive process environment.

Etch equipment is used to transfer patterned features into underlying films after a masking step defines the areas to be removed.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Etch equipment sits in the pattern transfer portion of semiconductor fabrication.

Etch follows lithographic pattern definition and supports later process steps that depend on the etched structure.

Applications

The Centura DPS 2 G 3 is used for etch processing in semiconductor manufacturing.[1][2]
