The PlasmaPro 100 RIE modules deliver isotropic and anisotropic dry etching for an extensive range of processes. It is suitable for research and production customers, providing a controlled environment that improves process repeatability with load-lock and cassette-to-cassette options.
Single-wafer or batch processing with excellent process control
High control of the gases and plasma power
Excellent uniformity, high throughput and high precision processes
Wide temperature range electrode, -150°C to 400°C
Reactive Ion Etch (RIE) is a predominantly physical etch process. A rich plasma is created just above the wafer and the ions are accelerated toward the surface to produce a powerful and highly anisotropic etch. Gas enters the top of the chamber where it is converted into a reactive plasma at low pressure by a wafer-level RF source. The ions either interact with the sample to form etch by-products, or remain as unreacted species. All the unreacted species and by-products are removed from the chamber by the vacuum pump to maintain a rich and active plasma to maintain high etch rates.
The PlasmaPro 100 RIE delivers reactive species to the substrate, with a uniform high conductance path through the chamber, allowing a high gas flow to be used while maintaining low pressure.
