What it is
The Varian M 2000 is a physical vapor deposition system used for semiconductor manufacturing.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedPhysical vapor deposition is a thin film deposition class in which material is transferred from a source in vacuum and condensed onto a substrate, forming a coating on the wafer surface.
In this equipment class, the process is used to build conductive or functional layers by depositing material directionally onto prepared wafers.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA deposition tool sits in the thin film formation part of the fabrication flow, after wafer preparation and before later pattern transfer or integration steps.
It is used when a process needs a deposited film on the wafer surface rather than removal or selective modification of existing material.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThis class of equipment is used for depositing thin films for semiconductor device fabrication, including metal and other functional layers on wafers.
It is commonly used where uniform blanket coatings are needed as part of interconnect formation, contact formation, or other thin film build steps.
