What it is

The Tegal 903 is an etch system in the Tegal 9XX series.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An etch tool creates a controlled environment in which process gases interact with energized species to remove selected material from exposed areas of a workpiece.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Tegal 903 fits in the pattern-transfer portion of semiconductor processing, where material is removed after a masking or patterning step defines the areas to be opened.
