ICP Etcher (SI 500 324 From SENTECH)

Technical description:

ICP plasma chamber: Inductively Coupled Plasma with RF excitation

- Plasma RF generator for the plasma (13.56 MHz and 0 to 1200 W) which controls the plasma properties

- Bias RF generator (13.56 MHz and 0 to 500 W) which controls the acceleration of the ions

- Available gases : HBr, BCl3, Cl2, SiCl4, CF4, CH2F2, CHF3, SF6, O2, Ar, N2, H2, CH4

 

Load-lock sytem with automatic transfer to the plasma chamber

Substrate holder :
