What it is

The Plasma-Therm Unaxis Versaline ICP is an inductively coupled plasma etcher used in semiconductor manufacturing.[1]

The equipment is designated as the Versaline model from Plasma-Therm Unaxis.[1]

How it works

The Versaline ICP Etcher includes a load lock chamber, a transfer chamber, and a process chamber with an electrostatic chuck for wafer handling and processing.[1]

The system configuration includes a DSE III module, an RF generator module, a monitor rack, and a chiller unit for temperature control.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

ICP etching is used in front-end-of-line and back-end-of-line processing for patterning dielectric and metal layers in integrated circuit fabrication.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Applications include deep silicon etching for MEMS, through-silicon vias, and other high-aspect-ratio structures requiring anisotropic profiles.
