What it is

The YES PB12-2P-CP is a high-temperature vacuum bake and cure oven for BCB and polyimide processing. The YES PB12-2P-CP accommodates 2 cassettes of 12-inch wafers in a single-compartment chamber. The YES PB12-2P-CP has a chamber size of 14.5 inches by 21 inches by 27 inches deep. The YES PB12-2P-CP includes a CTC controller with a color touchscreen and a cooling package. The YES PB12-2P-CP operates at temperatures up to 450 °C.[1][4][2]

How it works

The YES PB12-2P-CP uses preheated nitrogen during operation. The nitrogen passes in laminar flow from the roof of the chamber down over the wafer cassettes and out through the chamber base. The YES PB12-2P-CP removes particles by exhausting them during each evacuation cycle. The controller supports 8 separate recipes with up to 16 ramps and dwells in each recipe.[1][4]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Thermal bake and cure ovens generally sit after liquid film coating steps and before later patterning or integration steps. Such tools are used when a deposited film must be stabilized by heat treatment before the wafer moves on to subsequent fabrication operations.

Applications

The YES PB12-2P-CP is designed for polyimide bake, BCB bake, spin-on glass processing, and flat panel applications.[1][4]

  • polyimide bake
  • BCB bake
  • flat panel
