What it is

The Applied Materials Centura 5300 Omega HDP Dry is a dry etcher for semiconductor processing.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A dry etcher removes material from a wafer by using a plasma-based gas process rather than a wet chemical bath.

Dry etchers in this class are used to pattern films with directional material removal so that transferred features can remain small and well defined.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Centura 5300 Omega HDP Dry fits in the wafer pattern-transfer portion of the fab flow, where an etched film is transformed into device features.

The tool is used after a masking step and before later cleanup or metrology steps that verify the etched result.

Applications

The tool is configured for SiO2 dry etch use on 8-inch wafers.[1][2]
