What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

A plasma asher or plasma etcher is a semiconductor process machine that uses a plasma environment to remove material from a wafer surface or to strip organic films. The Tegal Plasmaline 411 belongs to that class of vacuum-based process equipment.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A plasma processing tool ionizes process gas inside a chamber and uses the reactive species to modify or remove material at the wafer surface. A resist-processing configuration uses that mechanism to strip photoresist and related organic residues after lithography or etch steps.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Resist processing sits in the fabrication flow after lithographic pattern transfer or other steps that leave organic residues on the wafer. The process removes resist or residue before the wafer moves to the next clean, inspection, or patterning operation.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Plasma ashers and etchers are commonly used in semiconductor manufacturing for photoresist removal, residue cleaning, and dry process steps on wafer surfaces. The same class of equipment is also used where a dry, chemical-reaction-based alternative is needed instead of liquid cleaning.
