What it is

The Ulvac NE 5700 is an etch tool.[4][1][2]

The NE 5700 belongs to Ulvac's dry etching equipment for production use.[1]

How it works

A production etch platform can be built as a clustered system with more than one process chamber to support throughput and process flexibility.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The NE 5700 sits in the semiconductor pattern-transfer stage, where etched features are formed after a mask or other patterning step.

The tool is used after pattern definition and before later integration steps that rely on the etched geometry.
