What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Applied Materials Centura AP DPS AdvantEdge G 2 Metal is a plasma etch system. The system is built on the Centura platform, a cluster tool architecture that integrates multiple process chambers around a central wafer-handling robot. The DPS (Decoupled Plasma Source) etch chambers are designed for high-precision anisotropic etching. The AdvantEdge series represents a generation of etch chambers optimized for critical dimension control.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor fabrication, metal etch systems are used to pattern metal interconnect layers after deposition. The process typically follows metal sputtering or chemical vapor deposition and is followed by photoresist removal and post-etch clean. The metal etch step defines the wiring between transistors in integrated circuits.
