What it is

The Ulvac Ceraus ZX 1000 is a physical vapor deposition system.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Deposition tools of this class are used to place uniform functional films on wafers as part of semiconductor process flows.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A deposition tool sits in the thin film formation stage of wafer processing, after surface preparation and before later patterning or integration steps.

The Ulvac Ceraus ZX 1000 fits into wafer-level manufacturing where films are added to build device layers or interconnect-related structures.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Physical vapor deposition tools are used for semiconductor thin films on wafers.
