What it is

The Veeco C 2 Cluster is a deposition tool. The Veeco C 2 Cluster is a PVD semiconductor manufacturing system. The Veeco C 2 Cluster has 6 inch wafer capacity. The Veeco C 2 Cluster has two chambers configured for AL2O3/SiO2 and Ta2O5.[1][3][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Deposition tools are used after substrate preparation when a process flow needs a controlled thin film on the wafer. Deposition tools are commonly followed by patterning, etch, anneal, metrology, or additional film-formation steps, depending on whether the deposited layer serves as a dielectric, barrier, optical coating, or part of a multilayer stack.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Physical vapor deposition systems are used to create functional thin films for semiconductor and related microfabrication processes. Cluster PVD platforms are commonly applied where multiple film types or sequential film steps benefit from transfer within an integrated vacuum environment.
