Atmospheric Processes

  • Diffusion (drive-in) high temperature procesess
  • Doping from solid, liquid and gaseous dopant sources e.g.: BBr3, B2H6, POCL3, PH3, BN
  • Various thermal processing e.g. annealing, sintering
  • Pyrogenic Wet Oxide with External Burning System
  • Wet Oxide with ultra pure steamer
  • Dry Oxide
  • HiPOx (High Pressure Oxide)

 

LPCVD Processes

  • Silicon nitride
  • Low temperature oxide (LTO)
  • High temperature oxide (HTO)
  • TEOS oxide
  • Polysilicon, with tilt/flat temperature profile
  • Doped polysilicon
  • Oxynitride

 

PECVD Processes

  • Silicon nitride (incl. anti-reflective SiN solar cell coating)
  • Silicon oxide
  • Oxinitride


DCE or HCl optional for all processes

Wafer Handling Automation

Partial automation

 

  • Stand-alone cassette to boat wafer transfer system

 

Full automation

  • Boat elevator
  • Fully automated stocker with built-in elevator and wafer transfer system


Typical configuration for Boat Elevator is 5 boats each with 50 slots each (200 mm wafers) and 6 boats (150 mm wafers).

In case of stocker, the system includes built-in wafer handling robot and the boat elevator. The stocker is integrated into the horizontal furnace and stores loaded and unloaded cassettes for a smooth continuous and fully automatic furnace operation.
