The Applied Materials DPS 2 G 5 is an etch tool. The DPS 2 G 5 was introduced in 2008. The DPS 2 G 5 is configured with 2 Metal 3ch and Axiom 1ch.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn etch tool removes selected material from a wafer by exposing the surface to a controlled process environment. Plasma-based etch systems commonly use a chamber with controlled gas flow, power delivery, and wafer handling to shape the etch rate and selectivity.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn etch tool sits in the wafer fabrication flow after pattern transfer has defined the regions to be removed. An etch tool typically works after a masking step and before downstream cleaning, inspection, or further film formation.
Applications
Etch tools are used to remove material from a wafer surface during the fabrication of semiconductor devices. The DPS 2 G 5, with a Metal chamber configuration, is suited for etching metal layers in the interconnect stack. The Axiom chamber is used for advanced patterning processes.[2]
