The Applied Materials Centura AP AdvantEdge G 5 Metal is a metal etch system for 300 mm wafers. The system is designed for metal etching applications.[1][2]
What it is
The Applied Materials Centura AP AdvantEdge G 5 Metal is a metal etch system used in semiconductor manufacturing. The system processes 300 mm (12 inch) wafers.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMetal etch systems in this class typically use reactive-ion etching (RIE) with halogen-based process gases such as chlorine or fluorine. Wafers enter the system through a load port and are transferred under vacuum to an etch chamber where a plasma is ignited to remove exposed metal layers. An end-point detection system monitors the etch process and signals completion when the underlying layer is reached.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Centura AP AdvantEdge G 5 Metal is positioned in the back-end-of-line (BEOL) portion of a semiconductor fab. The tool receives wafers after metal deposition and photolithography patterning, and it removes the unprotected metal film to form interconnect lines or contact structures. After etching, the wafer moves to downstream steps such as resist stripping, cleaning, and dielectric deposition.
