What it is

The Ulvac CV 200 is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) sputtering system used for thin-film deposition in semiconductor manufacturing.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

PVD sputtering systems deposit thin films by ejecting material from a solid target through ion bombardment in a vacuum chamber.

A plasma is generated in a low-pressure gas environment, typically argon, and positive ions are accelerated toward a negatively biased target.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Ulvac CV 200 is used in the deposition phase of semiconductor fabrication, typically for metal layers such as aluminum, copper, or titanium.

Prior to deposition, wafers undergo cleaning and sometimes a pre-sputter etch to remove native oxides.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The CV 200 is applied to forming metal interconnects, barrier layers, contact layers, and seed layers for damascene copper metallization.

The system can also deposit magnetic thin films used in sensors and memory devices.
