The Lam Research SEZ RST 101 is a wet etcher. The SEZ RST 101 processes wafers of sizes 4 inch and 6 inch.[1]
What it is
The Lam Research SEZ RST 101 is an etch tool for semiconductor manufacturing.[2]
The Lam / SEZ RST 101 Wet Etcher is a wet etching machine. The model name is RST 101.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAn etch tool removes selected material from a wafer by exposing surfaces to a controlled chemical or plasma-based process. A wet etcher performs that removal with liquid chemistry rather than a dry plasma process.
A wet etcher is used to process wafer surfaces in a controlled sequence so that target films or layers are removed while other areas are preserved by masking or process selectivity.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe SEZ RST 101 sits in the etch portion of semiconductor manufacturing, where patterned materials are removed after earlier pattern-definition steps.
Wet etching is typically used when a liquid-chemistry removal step is appropriate for the material system and patterning sequence on the wafer.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWet etchers are used for wafer material removal in semiconductor process flows where liquid chemistry is suitable for the target layers and exposed features.
