What it is

The Applied Materials Centura AP eMax CT+ is a dry etch tool for semiconductor manufacturing.[3][2][1]

The Centura AP eMax CT+ is part of Applied Materials' Centura family.[3][2][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An etch tool removes selected material from a wafer by exposing the surface to a controlled plasma or reactive gas environment.

An etch system in this class uses a process chamber, gas delivery, and process control to shape material removal with pattern fidelity set by the mask and resist pattern on the wafer.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Centura AP eMax CT+ sits in the pattern-transfer portion of the fab flow after lithographic pattern definition.

The Centura AP eMax CT+ supports material removal steps that follow photoresist patterning and precede downstream strip and clean operations.

Applications

The Centura AP eMax CT+ is used for semiconductor dry etch processing.[3][2][1][4]
