Research Quality: 50% complete

The SPTS MVD300 is a molecular vapor deposition (MVD) system for high-volume manufacturing of MEMS and other devices. The MVD300 supports batch processing of 200mm and 300mm wafers with up to four precursors and integrated plasma treatment. The MVD300 is also available as the MVD300E with an EFEM.[1]

What it is

The SPTS MVD300 is a molecular vapor deposition (MVD) system designed for high-volume manufacturing of semiconductor and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices. The system is also capable of atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes. A variant, the MVD300E, includes an equipment front end module (EFEM) for automated wafer handling.[1][2]

Applications

Additional production applications include moisture barriers, anti-corrosion coatings, and release layers for imprinting. The tool’s ALD capability extends its use to other thin film deposition needs requiring atomic-level thickness control.[1][2]
