Plasma etching & deposition


Plasma process is essential for manufacturing of advanced microelectronics. Our plasma processes provide the reliability to confidently achieve the desired device characteristics. Our versatile plasma etching and deposition tools deliver:

Plasma etching

Plasma deposition

  • Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD)
  • Inductively Coupled Plasma Chemical Vapour Deposition (ICPCVD)
  • Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD)

Ion beam etching & deposition

Ion beam etch and ion beam deposition offers film quality and etch control coupled with excellent uniformity. It is ideal for a wide range of applications such as MRAM, laser bar facets and thin film magnetic heads. Ion beam technology enables researchers and high volume manufacturers to produce dense, high quality films with smooth surfaces.
