• MICRO: Measuring and controlling wafer temperature during plasma etching
  to the formation of a parasitic plasma and thus give an inaccurate temperature indication.4. One relatively new measurement technique, known as the Active Plasma Thermal Optical System, determines actual wafer temperature in real time, but it requires a fiber-optic harness that is tethered to the wafer...
• MICRO: Product Tech News
  significant advantages over traditional wafer chucks. Three to five times stiffer than glass or metal components, the ceramic chucks are available in several materials, including UltraSiC silicon carbide, PureSiC chemical vapor deposition silicon carbide, PlasmaPure alumina, and StatSafe ESD alumina...
• MICRO: Product Extra!
  The m600 developer's kit from allows R&D technologists and OEM engineers to test the technical feasibility and ease of integration of the company's Fluoroptic thermometry. Among other applications, the m600 can be used to control electrostatic chucks in semiconductor wafer tools. The m600 has...
• Miniature Linear Encoders
  assembly, a critical subsystem in semiconductor wafer chambers, combines customer-specific mechanical, electrical, and thermal engineering with advanced chemical-vapor-deposited ceramic heaters and e-chucks. By considering the thermal, plasma, mechanical, and electrical boundary conditions of the chamber...

  the backside and bevel/edge. The process also may be used to remove thermal oxide or nitride films from the wafer backside and controlled to perform a precision wraparound film removal etch (an edge exclusion zone) on the wafer frontside. Copper particles imbedded within the oxide are effectively eliminated...
• STEM System
  A single-wafer processor uses a vertical immersion process chamber with three megasonic transducers. Located at the top of the chambers, two transducers introduce acoustic wavefronts directed at the wafer/liquid/gas interface (the cleaning zone), while a bottom transducer prevents the redeposition...
