Research Quality: 60% complete

The Applied Materials P5000 is a PECVD system designed for dielectric deposition. The Applied Materials P5000 has two dedicated chambers: one for TEOS-based silicon dioxide and one for silane/ammonia-based silicon nitride. The Applied Materials P5000 can process wafers up to 8 inches in diameter and operates at nominal temperature around 400°C.[1]

Gas delivery

TEOS/O2[1]

What it is

It has two dedicated chambers for dielectric PECVD.[1]

How it works

One chamber uses a TEOS/O2 chemistry for silicon dioxide, and the other is capable of SiH4/NH3 processing for silicon nitrides.[1]

The tool operates at a nominal temperature of about 400 C.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

Both chambers can process wafers up to 8 inches in diameter and deposit films multiple microns thick.[1]

Applications

The tool is used for dielectric PECVD, silicon dioxide deposition with TEOS/O2 chemistry, and silicon nitride deposition with SiH4/NH3 capability.[1]

  • Silicon dioxide deposition
  • Silicon nitride deposition
