Main Benefits

  • Wafer-friendly transport and maximum speed during empty runs thanks to a highly dynamic axis system
  • Optimal use of the clean room due to compact design of the system and efficient arrangement of chemical supply, drains, receiver tanks and control cabinets in the module footprint
  • Modular concept enables fast assembly, disassembly and conversion
  • Uninterrupted production flow due to an integrated storage unit with up to 75 storage spaces

Processes

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

Substrates

  • Substrates
    Wafers
  • Wafer material
    Si, SiC, GaN
  • Wafer sizes
    8″

Technical Features

  • Up to 12 LMC carriers of 100 wafers (8/6 inch) with half spacing or 50 wafers (8/6 inch) with normal spacing for efficient processing
  • Reduced process times possible due to increased process temperature of up to 170° C
  • Reduced rinsing times and DIW consumption due to a DI water flow of up to 80 l/min resulting in faster basin filling and therefore faster operational readiness
  • Low maintenance due to linear motor axis
  • Intelligent safety control for collision avoidance in conjunction with an innovative sensor solution for detecting the process carrier
