What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDry etch equipment of this class removes material from a substrate in a controlled process environment rather than by wet chemical means. In a laser-based dry etcher, material removal is driven by a focused high-power laser beam.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedLaser-based dry etching functions by delivering a high-energy laser beam to the substrate surface, where absorbed optical energy heats, ablates, or otherwise removes material at the beam focus. Because material removal relies on the laser rather than reactive gases or plasma, the process can be described as chemical-free dry etching.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedEtch tools occupy a central position in wafer fabrication, patterning layers by transferring an image from a mask or resist into an underlying film. A laser-based dry etcher can serve in process flows where chemical-free material removal is preferred over plasma-based reactive ion etching.
