What it is

The Tokyo Electron Telius SP 308 Trench is a trench etch system. The Tokyo Electron Telius SP 308 Trench accepts 12-inch wafers.[2][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Plasma etch tools generally expose a wafer to reactive gas species under vacuum so that selected material is removed where a patterned mask leaves the surface open. Trench etch processes are typically tuned to favor directional removal so etched features extend downward with controlled sidewall shape while protected regions remain in place.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A trench etch system sits after pattern definition steps that create an etch mask on the wafer. A trench etch system sits before later operations such as mask removal, dielectric or conductor fill, planarization, or additional pattern transfer, depending on the device flow.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Trench etch tools are used for processes that form recessed structures in semiconductor wafers. Trench etch processes support device features that rely on patterned cavities, isolation regions, or other etched topography that is later integrated with deposition and planarization steps.
