What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The ASM Eagle XP8 is a production platform for plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) used in semiconductor manufacturing. PEALD systems deposit thin films with atomic-level thickness control by alternating precursor and plasma reactant pulses. The Eagle XP8 is designed for high-volume manufacturing of advanced logic and memory devices.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Atomic layer deposition relies on sequential, self-limiting surface reactions between gaseous precursors and a substrate. In PEALD, a plasma replaces one of the chemical reactants, allowing film formation at lower temperatures while maintaining conformality and density. The process repeats in cycles to build up the film thickness one atomic layer at a time.

Applications

The Eagle XP8 is applied to a broad range of dielectric PEALD processes. Key applications include low-temperature spacers for Spacer Defined Multiple Patterning (SDMP), conformal liners, spacer layers, and etch stop layers. Other uses include through-silicon via (TSV) isolation liners and films for conformal doping.[1][2]
