What it is

The Plasma-Therm 210RL-A is a reactive ion etch tool.[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Reactive ion etch tools remove material by combining a plasma environment with directional ion bombardment and chemically active species.

Reactive ion etching is used to transfer patterns into exposed films with anisotropic material removal that is useful for microfabrication.

Where it fits in the process flow

The Plasma-Therm 210RL-A belongs in the dry etch portion of the process flow.[2]

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Reactive ion etch tools are used for pattern transfer into thin films and device layers.
