How it works

The Mattson 2800 RTP system uses dual-side heating for high ramp rates. The Mattson 2800 RTP system uses independent lamp control for improved temperature uniformity across the wafer. The Mattson 2800 RTP system supports dynamic individual lamp adjustment in any step for uniformity during process steps. The Mattson 2800 RTP system includes an ATM-307-S-CE robot, an ESC-200 controller, a Pre 201 aligner, an ESC-201 controller, a pneumatic rack, and an EMO power supply. The Mattson 2800 RTP system includes pyrogenic ambient control to form thicker oxides at lower temperatures with reduced thermal stress. The Mattson 2800 RTP system includes an optimized tube purge of less than 10 seconds.[1][2]

Applications

The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for silicide and barrier formation. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for BPSG reflow and densification. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for shallow junction formation and implant annealing. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for poly emitter drive in. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for thin gate dielectrics. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for RTO, RTN, and RTON processes. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for new gate dielectrics. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for thermal donor annihilation. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for multilayer annealing for metallization. The Mattson 2800 RTP system is used for solar cells and ferroelectrics such as PZT.[2]
