What it is

The STS M Plex Multiplex ICP is an inductively coupled plasma etcher used for etching microelectronic and microelectromechanical structures. The system is specified for wafers with a diameter of 3 inches.[1][2]

How it works

The STS M Plex Multiplex ICP is configured with a MAG 900 CT turbo pump and a roughing pump with code A532-80-905, a gas cabinet, and two ENI RF generators (ACG-10B and ACG-3B-06) with a phase shift controller. The system operates at 400 V, 50 Hz, three-phase power.[1]
