The Varian Kestrel 650 is an ion implantation tool. The Varian Kestrel 650 handles 8 inch wafers.[1][2]
What it is
The Varian Kestrel 650 is an ion implanter manufactured by Varian. The system processes wafers of 8-inch diameter.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implanters are used in the doping step of semiconductor device fabrication, typically after photolithography and before annealing. The wafer is implanted to form p-type or n-type regions such as source/drain junctions, well regions, or polysilicon doping.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIon implanters are used to dope silicon wafers for integrated circuits, including logic, memory, and power devices. The Kestrel 650 can be employed for applications such as threshold voltage adjustment, channel doping, and junction formation.
