What it is

The Lam Research TCP 9400 ICP is a semiconductor etch tool.[1][2]

The TCP 9400 ICP uses inductively coupled plasma etching.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An inductively coupled plasma etcher generates plasma in a process chamber and uses that plasma to remove material from a wafer surface.

An etch tool in this class is used to transfer patterns into films by selectively removing exposed material after lithographic patterning.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The TCP 9400 ICP sits in the pattern-transfer portion of semiconductor manufacturing, after lithography has defined where material is to be removed.

The TCP 9400 ICP is used before later steps that rely on the etched pattern being present in the wafer surface or film stack.

Applications

The TCP 9400 ICP is used for semiconductor etch applications.[1][2]
