What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA dry etcher removes material from a wafer by using a plasma or reactive gas environment rather than a liquid chemical bath.
An etch system in this class transfers a patterned mask image into the underlying film or layer by selectively removing exposed material.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA dry etch tool sits in the pattern transfer portion of semiconductor manufacturing after lithography and before later process steps that build on the etched structure.
