What it is

The Mattson Steag / AST Heatpulse 610 is a rapid thermal processing (RTP) system designed for six-inch wafers. The system has a temperature range of 400 to 1250 degrees Celsius.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

RTP systems use banks of high-intensity lamps, typically halogen lamps, to heat the wafer from above and below. The wafer is placed on a quartz tray or pins inside a cold-wall chamber, and a pyrometer or thermocouple measures the wafer temperature to provide closed-loop control of the lamp power, allowing fast ramp-up and cool-down rates.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Common applications of RTP include source/drain and gate dielectric annealing, nickel silicide formation, rapid thermal oxidation, and rapid thermal nitridation. The Heatpulse class of tools is deployed in CMOS and memory device manufacturing for front-end and back-end thermal processing.
