  • Highest reliability with a plant operating time of ≥ 97%

Processes

  • Different wet cleaning proceses
  • RCA
  • Solvent applications
  • Solvent applications combined with chemical applications
  • Pre-diffusion
  • Pre-metal
  • Different etching processes, including oxide, nitride, polycrystalline, metals and silicides

Substrates
