What it is

The Lam Research Strata GX is a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system. The system is available in a 3 CH configuration.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Chemical vapor deposition relies on the introduction of precursor gases into a reaction chamber where they chemically react on the heated substrate surface to form a solid film. Byproducts are removed through the exhaust system. The process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and gas flow rates are controlled to achieve desired film properties.

CVD systems typically include a gas delivery system, a reaction chamber with a heated susceptor, and a vacuum system. The Strata GX, as a CVD tool, operates under these principles to deposit uniform films across the wafer.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Upstream processes typically include wafer cleaning and oxidation, while downstream steps may involve photolithography and etching. CVD deposition is often repeated multiple times during integrated circuit fabrication.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Strata GX, as a CVD system, is applicable to these standard deposition processes used in logic, memory, and other semiconductor devices.
