Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Deposition tools are used after substrate preparation when a process flow needs a new film added rather than material removed. Deposition by sputtering is commonly followed by patterning, etch, lift off, anneal, inspection, or metrology, depending on the device and the film stack.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Sputter coaters are used to deposit conductive, barrier, adhesion, and other functional thin films in microfabrication and related laboratory process work. Sputter deposition is commonly chosen for metal film formation, contact layers, seed layers, and stack development where vacuum deposited coatings are required.
