What it is

The Lam 2300 Exelan Flex is an etch system from Lam Research. The system accommodates wafers with a 12-inch diameter. The system operates on 208 VAC power at 50/60 Hz. The full load current is 56 amperes. The main circuit breaker rating is 70 amperes.[1][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A plasma etch system contains a vacuum chamber that holds the wafer on a support. Process gases are introduced into the chamber through a gas inlet. Radio-frequency power applied to electrodes ionizes the gas into a plasma. The plasma reacts with exposed films on the wafer, removing them to form the desired pattern.
