What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Applied Materials Centura Enabler Oxide Etcher is a semiconductor manufacturing etch tool.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An oxide etcher removes selected oxide material from a wafer by using a controlled plasma-based etch process.

An etch system in this class is used to transfer pattern information into the wafer surface after lithography has defined the areas to be opened.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Applied Materials Centura Enabler Oxide Etcher belongs in the pattern transfer portion of semiconductor fabrication.

The Applied Materials Centura Enabler Oxide Etcher is used after masking steps and before later cleaning, deposition, or further patterning operations that follow an oxide opening.

Applications

The Applied Materials Centura Enabler Oxide Etcher is used for oxide etch processing in semiconductor fabrication.[3][1][4][5][6]
