Body

The Oxford Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) system has processes for Silicon Oxide, Silicon Nitride, amorphous Silicon, Boron and/or Phosphorous doped Silicon Dioxide, as well as highly conformal TEOS-based Silicon Dioxide. This loadlocked system capable of 3", 4", 150mm, or 200mm wafers, as well as pieces on a carrier.

Capabilities
  • Low pressure plasma decomposition/reaction of Silane & other gases predominantly to form dielectrics for passivation & masking layers at low temperatures
  • Load Locked system capable of 3", 4", 150mm, or 200mm wafers
  • Gases: SiH4, N2O, NH3, PH3, B2H6, CH4, TEOS, CF4, and O2
  • Typical process pressure: 1.8 Torr
  • Process temperature range of 200 to 400 C, baseline processes are 350C
