What it is

The STS MXP Multiplex ICP is an inductively coupled plasma etcher used in semiconductor manufacturing.[1][2]

The model name is MXP Multiplex, and the equipment family is STS MXP Multiplex ICP.[1][2]

How it works

The STS MXP Multiplex ICP is an etch tool rather than a deposition tool, and the class is used for plasma etching.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The STS MXP Multiplex ICP is configured for silicon etch in one variant and chlorine etch in another variant.[4][5][6]

Applications

The STS MXP Multiplex ICP is used for plasma etching in semiconductor processing.[1][2]

The STS MXP Multiplex ICP has been associated with silicon etch using the Bosch process and with chlorine etch using gases such as BCl3, Cl2, O2, Ar, and He.[4][5][6]
