What it is

The Plasmatherm Dual SLR is an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etcher used for dry etching in semiconductor manufacturing.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

ICP etchers are placed in the dry etch module of a semiconductor fab, typically after lithographic patterning. The machine removes material from unmasked areas of a substrate, transferring the photoresist pattern into the underlying film. Etched wafers then proceed to resist strip and cleaning steps before further deposition or lithography cycles.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

ICP etchers are used to etch a wide range of materials including silicon, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, metals, and compound semiconductors. Common applications include gate stack etching, contact hole formation, damascene trench etching, and through-silicon via (TSV) etching. The high density and low pressure of the ICP plasma enable deep, anisotropic etching with minimal damage.
