About
The three stack Tystar 8” furnace is used primarily for 3 processes. The processes are dedicated for specific tubes as follows:
- Tube #1: SOG curing & low-temp oxidation
- Tubes #2 and #3: Dry or wet oxidation of silicon (unprocessed, clean)
- Tube #3: General furnace annealing & oxidation, including processed material
Each process tube can accomodate up to one hundred 8” wafers per cycle. We have boats for 2", 3", 4", 6", 8" and irregular shaped pieces. The maximum temperature is 1100°C for the system. Gases used are O2, Steam from DI-H2O, N2.
Process Information
Recipe Characterization Data, such as thermal oxidation times, can be found on the recipe page:
Use the BYU or Stanford Leland Jr. Thermal Oxidation Calculators to determine the time and temperature that will be necessary for your process needs. You can "calibrate" your oxidations to the Stanford calculator by adjusting the Partial Pressure on the calculator to match your experimental data.
Keep in mind that all process must be 30 minutes in length at a minimum. Processes less than 30 minutes will suffer from poor uniformity because the process tube will not have sufficient time to saturate with O2 or DI-H2O.
Gases Available
- N2 (15/5 slpm)
- O2 High-range "O2HI" - 15 slpm
- O2 Low-range "O2LO" - 1 slpm
- All gasses flow through the H2O bubbler, which can optionally be filled with heated water to flow steam, or evacuated (no steam, gas only).
Recipes
- Tube 1 - low temperature tube. Applications: Wafer Bonding, Curing Spin-on-glass/dielectrics, AlGaAs oxidation, annealing.
- Tube 2 - CLEAN Silicon only, Wet and Dry oxidations only.
- Tube 3 - Wet/Dry Oxidation, Annealing
- Thermal Processing Recipes (Tystar 8300) - lists all available recipes on each tube
- Process Limits - each tube has different process limits - see this page for requirements for each tube. Contact supervisor for advice on long (≥24hr) or high-temp processes.
Oxidation Rates & Data
See the above recipes page for data on oxidation rates for standard oxidation recipes.
