What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Plasma etch systems of this kind remove selected material layers from a wafer surface. The Unity II E 855 SS is used in semiconductor fabrication for subtractive patterning steps.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Plasma etch systems confine process gases in a low-pressure vacuum chamber. Radio-frequency power ionizes the gases to create a chemically reactive plasma. Reactive species from the plasma etch exposed areas of the wafer while the patterned mask protects other areas.

The Unity II E 855 SS belongs to the plasma etcher class of semiconductor equipment. Etch uniformity and profile control depend on gas chemistry, pressure, temperature, and radio-frequency power.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Unity II E 855 SS performs etch steps in semiconductor wafer manufacturing. Etching occurs after photolithography transfers the pattern into the resist layer. The etcher removes material from films that are left unprotected by the resist. Downstream resist strip and cleaning steps follow the etch.
