PlasmaTherm 790 RIE – Fluorine

Description

The PlasmaTherm 790 RIE – Fluorine is an open load reactive ion etch system. Process gases are sulfur hexaflouride (SF6), triflouromethane (CHF3), carbon tetraflouride (CF4), oxygen (O2) and argon (Ar). The system is for the etching of semiconductors, dielectrics and metals. Masks allowed in this system are photoresist and dielectrics.

This tool requires pre-requisite training on other techniques: metrology.
