Alpha 8 SE Vertical
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThis class of equipment is used for thermal processing in a vertically oriented furnace stack, where wafers are processed in batches under controlled heat and ambient conditions.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA vertical furnace processes wafers in a heated reaction chamber arranged so the wafers are held in a vertical orientation. The thermal environment is controlled to carry out heat-driven semiconductor steps such as oxidation, diffusion, and related deposition or treatment cycles.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a semiconductor line, a vertical furnace sits in the thermal-processing portion of the flow, after wafer preparation and before later patterning or integration steps that depend on the completed thermal film or dopant profile.
