What it is

The Panasonic E 748 SC is a dry etcher that supports 8-inch wafers.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Dry etching involves introducing reactive gases into a low-pressure vacuum chamber and exciting them into a plasma using radio frequency or microwave energy. The ionized species chemically react with the surface material to form volatile byproducts that are pumped away. The process can be highly directional when an electric field is applied, allowing for anisotropic etching.
