What it is

The ASM Epsilon 3200 is an epitaxial reactor used for semiconductor deposition processes.[1][2][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The substrate rests on a susceptor that is heated, typically by lamps or RF induction, to temperatures sufficient for epitaxial growth while the chamber atmosphere is carefully controlled to prevent contamination.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor fabrication, epitaxial deposition is performed after wafer cleaning and before the main device processing steps such as oxidation, doping, and metallization.

The epitaxial layer provides a high-quality crystalline surface for subsequent lithography and implantation, and is critical for devices that require controlled doping profiles and defect-free interfaces.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Epitaxial reactors are used to produce layers for advanced CMOS logic, memory, power semiconductors, and radio-frequency (RF) devices.

The process is also applied in the fabrication of silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistors and other specialty structures requiring precise compositional control.
