What it is

The Applied Materials Endura 5500 TxZ is a deposition system used for physical vapor deposition.^[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A physical vapor deposition system forms thin films by moving material from a source to a wafer surface in a controlled vacuum process.

A cluster tool combines several process chambers around a common wafer-handling environment so wafers can move between steps without leaving the system.

Where it fits in the process flow

The Endura 5500 TxZ configuration includes an IMP chamber, TxZ chambers, a pre-clean chamber, an OR or degas chamber, and empty chamber positions.^[1]

Applications

The Endura 5500 TxZ is used for PVD-related thin-film deposition.^[1]
