Endpoint Detection
This single wafer wet process system for wafer surface treatment and wafer thinning offers optimum results in FEOL and BEOL etching and cleaning.
Main Benefits
- Optimized CoC due to low chemical and water consumption
- Process safety according to highest safety level for chemicals
- Endpoint detection for highest reliability and process control:
1. Less over-processing time required to fully etch the layer (i.e. over-etching)
2. Less impact on other layers
3. Stable uniformity from wafer to wafer
4. Significant reduction of chemical consumption possible - Convenient handling and easy resizing, up to 5 media in one process tray
- Handling of thin wafers
- A plant demonstration in the AP&S DemoCenter is available.
Processes
- FEOL etching, BEOL etching and cleaning
- Wafer thinning
- Tension decrease
- Film removal and damage repair
