What it is

The model designation is Unity II E 855 II.[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A dry etcher removes material from a wafer with a plasma-based process rather than with liquid chemistry.

Dry etching generally uses a gas environment and electric fields to generate reactive species that transfer pattern information from a mask into the exposed film or substrate.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A dry etcher sits in the pattern-transfer portion of the wafer fabrication flow after lithography has defined the feature pattern on a masking layer.

The etch step is followed by mask removal, cleaning, inspection, and later process modules that build or finish the device structure.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Dry etchers are used for anisotropic pattern transfer in semiconductor manufacturing.

Dry etching is used to form features in thin films, dielectric layers, and other patterned materials where directional material removal is required.
