Centura HP
Applied Materials Centura HP is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) system. Applied Materials Centura HP supports 8-inch wafers. Applied Materials Centura HP includes two PVD chambers, one clean chamber, one cool chamber, and one flat chamber.[1]
What it is
The Applied Materials Centura HP is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) system designed for 200 mm (8-inch) wafers.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a PVD system, a target material is bombarded with energetic ions in a vacuum chamber, causing atoms to be ejected and deposited onto the wafer surface.
The Centura platform uses a cluster tool architecture where wafers move between chambers under vacuum without exposure to atmosphere, enabling sequential processing steps.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedPVD is typically employed in the metallization stages of semiconductor manufacturing, after dielectric planarization and before photoresist patterning.
The deposited films serve as conductive layers or barriers that form part of the interconnect structure on the wafer.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedApplications include the deposition of aluminum, titanium, titanium nitride, tantalum, and tantalum nitride films for interconnects, contact plugs, and diffusion barriers.
