What it is

The Lam Research Sosul Extrima 3100 is a bevel etch system for wafer edge processing. The system handles wafers with a diameter of 12 inches (300 mm).[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Bevel etch systems remove deposited films from the edge of a wafer to reduce particle contamination and improve yield. The process typically uses a plasma or reactive gas directed at the wafer bevel to selectively etch material while protecting the device areas.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Bevel etching is applied after film deposition steps such as dielectric or metal layer deposition, and before lithography or other downstream processes. The tool removes film overhang and edge beads that could flake off during wafer handling or thermal cycling.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The system is used in advanced semiconductor manufacturing to remove unwanted film residues from the wafer bevel. Such edge cleaning is critical for preventing defect propagation and ensuring reliable device performance.
