What it is

The Ontrak DSS 200 is an integrated circuit cleaner that functions as a double-sided PVA scrubber designed to clean wafers ranging from 100mm to 200mm in diameter. The system is available in Series 1 and Series 2 configurations, both sharing a common double-sided brush scrub architecture.[4][1][2]

How it works

The Ontrak DSS 200 features a double-sided PVA scrub with dual brush boxes, ammonia dispense, and an IR-assisted spin dry station. The system includes a universal load station (Series 1) or a 200mm ergonomic load station (Series 2), a robotic unload, a vertical unload station, and touchscreen controls. The Series 2 adds dark plastic covers to protect light-sensitive wafers.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Ontrak DSS 200 is specifically designed for post-CMP cleaning, with applications including oxide, polysilicon, nitride, tungsten, aluminum, and copper post-CMP clean. The system is also used for general purpose cleaning and silicon cleaning.[1][2]

Applications

The Ontrak DSS 200 is used for post-CMP clean, pre-bond clean, pre-photo clean, advanced packaging applications, post-metal deposition, post-ILD deposition, post-scribe, and substrate manufacturing. The Series 2 offers throughputs of 45-65 wafers per hour depending on the application.[2][3]
