What it is

The Lam Research 2300 e 5 Exelan Flex EX is an etcher for semiconductor manufacturing.[1][2][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An etcher removes selected material from a wafer by exposing the surface to a controlled plasma or reactive chemistry so patterned areas are transferred into the underlying film or layer.

Etch tools are positioned after lithography and before later film or device steps so they can convert a resist-defined pattern into etched features on the wafer.

Where it fits in the process flow

The Lam Research 2300 e 5 Exelan Flex EX belongs in the etch portion of the wafer process flow.[1][4]

Applications

The Lam Research 2300 e 5 Exelan Flex EX is used for etch processing on 12-inch wafers.[1][2][3]
