About

This is a single-chamber tool for etching of a variety of materials. The chamber is configured as an ICP etching tool with 1000 W ICP power, 500 W RF substrate power, and RT - 80°C operation with back-side He cooling and an electrostatic chuck to maintain controlled surface temperatures during etching. This chamber has Cl₂, BCl₃, CF₄, CHF₃, SF₆, Ar, N₂, and O₂ for gas sources and can be used to etch a variety of materials from SiO₂ to metals to compound semiconductors. The chamber is evacuated with a 2000 lpm Osaka Vacuum magnetically levitated turbo pump, allowing for fast pump down.

The system is also equipped with a red laser monitoring system from Intellemetrics for more precise etch stop control.
