Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Kiyo FX is part of Lam Research's Kiyo family of conductor etch chambers, designed for advanced node fabrication.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedPlasma etch systems generate a reactive gas plasma inside a vacuum chamber. Ions and radicals from the plasma bombard the wafer surface, selectively removing material according to a patterned mask.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn a typical fabrication flow, the Kiyo FX performs conductor etch for applications such as gate, contact, and interconnect patterning.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Kiyo FX is used for etching conductive materials in advanced logic and memory devices. Applications include polysilicon gate etch, metal contact etch, and dielectric removal in conjunction with conductor layers.
