Inductively Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (ICPCVD)

Delivers deposition of high quality dielectric films at low temperature with low damage

PlasmaPro 100 ICPCVD

Achieves superior film quality with low substrate damage


Inductively Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (ICPCVD)


  • Independent control of ion energy and ion current density
  • Typical process pressure: 1- 10 mtorr
  • Plasma density: >1011 cm-3
  • Plasma in contact with the substrate
  • Low energy ion current during deposition
  • Ion Current (Plasma Density) dependent on ICP power
  • ESS (electrostatic screen) for a purely inductive plasma
  • ICP is fully automatic (2 RF automatch units)


Overview of ICPCVD


Creation of high density plasmas in the ICP source means this technique delivers deposition of high quality dielectric films at low temperature with low damage. Low temperature deposition means that temperature sensitive films and devices can be processed successfully.

Our ICP CVD process modules are designed to produce high
quality films with high density plasmas at low deposition
pressures and temperatures.



Features and benefits of ICPCVD


  • Excellent quality low damage films at reduced temperatures.
  • Typical materials deposited include SiO2, Si3N4 and SiON, Si and SiC at substrate temperatures as low as 5ºC
  • ICP source sizes of 65mm, 180mm, 300mm delivering process uniformity up to 200mm wafers
  • Electrodes available for temperature ranges from 5ºC to 400ºC
  • Patented ICPCVD gas distribution technology
  • In situ chamber cleaning with endpointing
