What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Plasma etch systems use energized gases to remove material from a wafer surface in a controlled manner, enabling the formation of patterns defined by photolithography. The 2300 Multi-Process is categorized as a multi-process etcher, meaning it can support multiple etch chemistries and process recipes within a single platform.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The 2300 Multi-Process operates by generating a plasma inside a vacuum chamber. Radio-frequency power is applied to the process gases, creating a discharge of ions and reactive radicals that bombard and chemically react with the wafer surface. The system can be configured for different etch modes, such as reactive ion etching or inductively coupled plasma etching, depending on the process requirements.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor fabrication, etch equipment follows lithography and pattern transfer steps. After photoresist is patterned, the etch system removes underlying material where the resist is absent, creating features such as trenches, vias, or gate structures. The 2300 Multi-Process is used in front-end-of-line and back-end-of-line processing, depending on the film being etched.
