What it is

The Applied Materials P 5000 DCVD is a dielectric chemical vapor deposition system.[1]

How it works

The Applied Materials P5000 platform can use dedicated chambers for different dielectric chemistries, including a TEOS and oxygen process for silicon dioxide and a silane and ammonia process for silicon nitride.[2]

The P5000 platform can process wafers up to eight inches and deposit films multiple microns thick.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Dielectric deposition occurs after prior patterning or surface preparation steps and before later planarization, etch, or interconnect formation steps in semiconductor fabrication.

Applications

The Applied Materials P5000 platform is used for dielectric oxide and nitride deposition.[2]

The P5000 family includes process variants for oxide deposition, nitride deposition, tungsten deposition, tungsten etch back, metal etch, SACVD ozone systems, and silane oxide deposition.[3]
