What is it?

Tegal's 915 is described as the largest capacity plasma barrel etcher available in the industry. The source states batch capacity for six cassettes of 100 mm wafers and four cassettes of 125 mm and 150 mm wafers, with two independent feed gases and temperature control up to 100 degrees C for the reaction chamber. Typical semiconductor applications include photoresist strip and descum.
