What it is

The Applied Materials Centura AP AdvantEdge G 5 Dry is a dry etcher for semiconductor manufacturing.[1]

The Applied Materials Centura AP AdvantEdge G 5 Dry uses a standard loadport and a Server GEM II interface.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A dry etcher removes patterned material from a wafer by exposing selected areas to reactive process gases in a controlled plasma-based etch environment.

A dry etcher is used with separate process chambers that can be configured for different gas chemistries and etch steps.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A dry etcher sits in the pattern transfer portion of semiconductor fabrication after lithography has defined the pattern to be etched.

A dry etcher is followed by downstream cleaning, inspection, and later process steps that depend on the etched topography.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Applied Materials Centura AP AdvantEdge G 5 Dry is a semiconductor dry etch tool used for pattern transfer on processed wafers.
