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

Substrates

  • Substrates
    Wafers, MEMS, optoelectronics, photomasks, up to 9″ and square substrates
  • Wafer material
    Si, SiC, GaN, GaAs, sapphire, glass
  • Wafer sizes
    up to 12″

Technical Features

  • Open cassette, SMIF pod, FOUP
  • Easy configuration and flexible upgrading due to modular design
  • Maximum safety for workers and plant according to highest safety standards
  • Optimized plant footprint, easy feed
  • No expensive space for the Chemicals Management System needed in the clean room, as it can be positioned outside
