General Information
The Siconnex spray acid tool (SAT) is an automated dry-to-dry wet batch system for etching processes.
Ozone systems (resist strip) and endpoint-detection systems (automated etching control) can be implemented.
Process Principle
Chemicals are sprayed on the spinning substrates, then the batch is rinsed with demineralized and hot demineralized water and dried with hot nitrogen.
Process Examples
- Metal etch (aluminium, gold/platinum, copper, silicon, tungsten (=wolfram), titanium, titanium nitride, Titanium tungsten, …)
- Oxide etch (silicon dioxide etching)
- Resist strip (post ash)
- Wafer reclaim
- Post CMP cleaning (chemical mechanical planarization)
