My few words just so story school chemistry. We are here two thousand and three my mom. Yes yes we're here. So you know the research here which are scientists research scientists all over the room facilities. Thanks Dr Brant given a chance. So today I want to give you talk just a chink in here. So first I want to give you a reason that while I have an idea to give the printing of ability. So in this May I was sent by my boss to all Cornell to attend a class action forum what about it's within the in a in OK So in that forum where we are given thirty minutes to give a short the print edition to introduce to give an update an introduction for our action capabilities and when I when we prepared the slides and said I have so many slide How can I finish it within thirty minutes. But when I got there I found while many of the universe it doesn't have the. Enough material to fill the thirty minutes long. They only have very few actually in truth. So they try to talk about something hours or even give us a story by the way or keep talking talking talking talking will probably take about thirty five minutes to finish our of the whole thing. So when I get come back I was thinking because I was a clean room user starting from two thousand one and I don't realize I'm in such a facility that had such a capability will never fully explore in that thing. So the user like me have been working here for over ten years to realize that we have pressures for thirty. So I want to give you a print ation to let you know what we have and let you to use our facilities much most efficiently. OK So today's Talk I'm going to color some basic idea what is that showing and telling about what is the. What is awarded what ads and give you an idea what is the part of my ads how to evaluate your action. OK so it's a good or is a back and so what you want to. How do you value it to successfully. To your process and then I'm going to introduce our many many. Actually equipments so many of the reactive card Ari the deep or I or I see. And we have also a new very fancy thing which can do some very fancy editing and a lot. I'm going to discuss some common are processing problems. So first. What is actually there is a very broad idea or as can be defined just remove material from some other substrate. OK but is more than the I.C. fabrication the action is very important for create a pattern or transform a pattern to the substrate that you need. OK so in most cases the. When you're working inside a clean room you need to define a pattern that is using the technique. So leave the area that you don't want to be blocked by the resist and leave the area open then introduce the action. OK When the action the concert here in remove the material the film. OK And finally you will remove the resist and the pattern that you needed is created a transfer. OK so where you introduce the action. There are two kind of situation going to happen. First is that isotropic adds. So we'll talk about isotopic actually that means it actually that is uniformly all the direction. So when the action comes through it. I actually like this way a vertical way or. Horizontally or vertically. OK the raid on both directions about the similar. There another situation out there when introduce the action. OK so the only action in one direction the X. rays on the other direction is very small almost can be declared war so that card and isotopic at so in in the eyes of education. This is more important because this is the way we can you valley control the future size zero can shrink shrink the your device size and finally make something fancy like your C.P.U.. So how to make that actually happen so have two ways. OK we can do what X. or dry at what at the end we have to do it inside a solution so. Use a merge or your substrate inside a container and you fill out the actual solution. You probably need to control the temperature. Maybe you need to control the. The ph of the solution and finally you remove that. Your film material off your substrate. And in the dry Usually that happens in the chamber. And the Chamber is substrate a loaded on the plate and you introduce the action most the time. In the plot Mark sometimes it can be gases. And that class or gases will attack your material on your substrate and then forming a ball of tile product that product can be brought away by the pump so that action was happened like that way. Of muscling mention forward because where a doesn't have any direction control so most of cases where that is a topic. In the triad. That's why the design dryads you want to control things to happen and I saw the topic but there are exceptions. One exception for that is when you add in the solution. The basic solution attack the silicon the raid different crystal phase are different. So will use. Like block the area in your submitted silicon inside alkaline solution the long the crystalline This is amazing angle is exactly the fifty four points them for that angle so you can create some pattern like that pretty fencing. So this is the spectrum for where actually is. We will cut it and isotopic some most atomic heart a directional because you can create the specific angle like that. For the Dryads sometime you can create isotropic adds with a dry mass or so this is an example a woman can deliver release the fluoride So there's this is the liver the made by aluminum and the bottom is silicon the silicon has been removed by the fluoride so it create a similar effect as you submit the thing into the solution but it's much cleaner than the X.. So talk about the advantages and disadvantages about the way that. So it's a simple. So if you do. Well probably what you need is only a week or. You don't need any other very expensive equipment and the highest throughput you can put money away for together in the same process and you can you can finish a lot of wafers and the selectivity is very high in most the time like the solution is not attacking the mask or most time the resist at all just the material there you're trying. But the disadvantage is isotopic edging So we went the. Action comes here that way so that it's very hard to control the dimension you trying to make. And also a lot of cases. The resist the photo that has an inherent problems of the you solution gun the gun attack the interface between your reverse and your substrate and create something like that but and also the small feature if you're making teeny tiny feature like a few micro even a few hundred nanometers Hold on. Add to things we need. There's a problem. The the action is not going to transfer diffuse through that kind of feature into the substrate so it's very hard the actual rate is very very slow in that situation and also the cast for the chemicals are using pretty high which time you have used a lot of chemicals to make that happen. Then you talk about dryads so dry. You can create something like this where frenzy you can imagine you can get something like that with web ads. So in the Dryads you don't have the folder is a hidden problem because. The part of our action coming from on top. Doesn't attack the interface and it can create an isotopic very and isotopic patterns. If you use a less chemical because in the chamber. You really pumped a very low vacuum so they actually used chemical is very limited and is suitable for the mation. So you can. In a foundry can set up the automation of the processing very very easily rather compared to the where that but the disadvantage. In is very complex equipment or we call very expensive equipment. Many of the quick maneuver by new Are million dollars something like that. OK and the selective it it can be poor. So talk about the selector it is that is where you have something over here for protecting the mature they don't want to be at the selectivity the substrate and to resist. It as they're the same way I like the way it doesn't attack to resist at all in the world had to resist. So the selectee selectively to compare to what actually is very poor it can create a residue. On the way for and later on when talking about the residue problem. It can create a polymer because the gases you're using the part where you're using going to recombine and the forming some kind of a polymer that's very difficult to remove and also sometimes you've created particle Asian formation just on your side to resurface sometime created many problems for later process so that the territory that may have been in the dry at. So part of so in plastic This typically using high pressure so no are important parliament is using a reactive ion actually caught our eye is the most widely used action mastered in the clean room. OK so it typically has a lower pressure. So you use iron bombardment So basically it's a chemical and physical act combined together to increase the action that this I won't be mastered been mastered is the vast measure that can sap free the neutral spaces you create in the past. Mark and aren't created in the past month. So this separate is true. So why. Mastered only use the R. and so accelerated to make the physical bombardment and the beer master that doesn't want the on at all. You just use the neutral species to make it actually but I firmly like we don't have the equipment used in this to matter but we have to devise a quick win because even that flood actually will use the non-passage So in this. We don't create any partner at all is pure chemical adage. So you use a foreign containing gases like the number four I had wrong in Florida or current fluoride to introduce to the chamber and that gases will tax alike and. Actually silicon away. So my focus on talking about the past my actions so in the previous page you'll see all this mass of the related to creation of a plasma so that's why I give the over the past my aging you know we have the fancy that they use the plasma. But I think Main my focus was on platinum. So you have to understand what is possible there are two terminology used to describe the past. So first is the past. Well so is actually is partially and I'd guess containing equal number of positive or negative charges as well as some other number of non particles so that's a mix of everything lot of a neutral species like positive or negative. Species missing together over a role. It's a neutral. But the glow discharge it globally is a neutral but it contains a region of Nad positive and negative charge. So. So it circular two parts but in some region it had a more positive in some read in the has more negative speeches but when you actually when you used the past my idea to make the actual or the plasma and go discharge are awfully like just interchangeable used. So the term loan itself was a tie user's work inside. The plasma to refer to glow discharge. So how does the promise form. So first you have to evacuate the chamber you don't want to leave any other species inside the chamber so you interfere in the formation of the past month so chamber is going to future with the gases you want to make the plasma and so are after energy is applied to a pair of electoral. So at high the energy will accelerate the electron inside the kinetic energy. So then the electrons and cry. With the new two are gas molecules forms iron more electrons. So after a while is going to reach a steady state. So at a steady state the analyzation rate so that means the radio created ions equals the recombination rate so the ions of negative and positive charge of the recombined together to form in the neutral species. So when that equilibrium has reached the reach a steady state. So the planet is charged a character a central glow about reason and dark sheets region near the lecturer's of whatever you watch over action to when it's running you see some arm color and bright color coming out of the we're watching window and we of we usually use that to make a judgment whether it is hardware is working properly or not so. So that's why it has a name a glow this chart. But you can see the power grid in a semi neutral so the in that region. This is a neutral the species making together but she's read in this mostly like all the potential drives that happen in that region so it acts for the accelerator the past the part of the eye or to bombard the substrate located on electrodes so make that action happen. So you can use these C. or microwave or of power to create a plasma. But in. Or are most of the equipment we use over here we use our to create the past month. So that's that they're the reason for that if we use D C. It will leave charging in D.C. current through the way for a will do the damage to a way for microwave plasma It doesn't create the self D.C. bias. So you need a D.C. bias to create that bombardment. So most While most widely used for creating past mass R.F. current through the way for them cause damage no charge in damages part of the uniform. There are one exception is if you actually very deep charge it will come along on the side wall and causing some kind of damage. And also it's easy to to introduce D.C. bias into the system. So when the part of the creed. So this is the process the how action will happen. So first the gas is introduced in the chamber so those gases are all neutral gasses so for C.H. have story. Those thing are just to create the flooring. There and when the parts of the power are power is applied. So it could argue electron cloud with. Neutral molecule and create our eye or and free radical and asked. And not another possibility. It doesn't create any and just create the free radicals. Things like that. So a part is a mix of everything because there are many many possibilities could could happen in the past month. So if this is a combination of many possibilities. Then this reactive species like the fluorine free radical will react with silicon and create the product this product is volatile. So the ball of how product can be removed by either the flow system or the vacuum system and pumped out. So the reaction can go have. So this is a situation that happened in our in the chamber of first action gases coming inside the chamber and then the dissociation the. Molecule dissociated and then recover nature of the electron without him. To create the plaster my apartment is created in the center area. So reactive. I am bombards of so the. Positively charged iron are accelerated by electrical field and the subsidy surface is with the kinetic energy. So if there's no chemical reaction that happened here. It just bombard the surface and remove the molecule that substrate. Another possibility is absorption of reactive ions on surface so. So this is not a solid here like flooring free radical is not charge so it is diffuse onto our sample surface and then this reactive species are going to react with your substrate molecule the work here and the products actually in the bowl of tiles all can be pumped out. So there's a created. Pattern this is actually chemical edging so it doesn't have any direction so it is on the other directions but the physical bombardment just happen on one direction the vertical The two are substrate. So this is like separate the two you facts when the plasma action happens actually there are two facts a cat physical action and chemical actually just happen this vertical is an isotropic edge and the chemical etching is happened between the a free radicals known species. And your substrate molecules so it's is isotopic. So how to control that components good each every situation there is a combination of a physical and the chemical edge. So one of the indication is the pressure in pressure level in the chamber so at a low price. It is mostly physical sparring. OK so it's unsuspected So it is damaged in everything you resist and you are our substrate direction Is it does the radiation or our relation damages. If you control this thing add a middle range of the pressure level. So is do physical and chemical etching together. OK. It is directional because it has plenty of the physical action involved and it's more selective than spider and because you have a more technical involved. And in high pressure level. So you have a less very less difficult environment so it is converted to chemical edging So it is happening the situation. Just like to face like as the human diet for. So this is a table that compare with the situations that when you do physical chemical chemical actually. Are not going to explain very different specifically or thing just one thing you want to know is it has influence on the sidewalk profile many of a situation people do actually want to actually use their clean ninety degree directly on to the bottom. And in that situation. You need to know you want and isotopic actions you want to more of physical component in your acting and also you want the highest alike to Vittie So if you have too much physical action in there you have a poor selectivity So it's out. It's a balance. You have to balance between them. So also the. Critical dimension control is a problem. And so there is no perfect recipe can thirty five ever requirement. You have to find a balance between among. Them. This is examples of like what you can do with dry ash. So you can look up size of a can I try it. Aluminum ten M. constant chromium Gollum that this is just a common material that have been widely used inside the Korean for to create their patterns we provide the tons of gases that then can satisfy your your request were not limited to that if you have a good idea and we're very happy to certify you to buy adding more gases more tactic. OK So after understanding what the basic knowledge of the chain then you have to know how to judge whether that how to evaluate a natural so when I finished a recipe on my sample. How do I know this is good or bad. So those are the private areas you need to know about your acting. OK So first is that rate. How fast does this thing at is this the faster the better I will say no because in most situations too fast. It means you lose control. If you want to specifically to a certain dabs you actually want the the action read to be a moderate level so you can. Control that process well you are selective media. I explained before that. This is actually a ratio of actuate between two materials in this example given here this is not try this is outside so after your putting the sample into the chamber do the actually. How much nitrate is to compare with how much outside of that you get a ratio over here is selective U.T. a lot of cases we're using the photo of this over here as the mask and either oxide or nitride actually action rate of the film comparable action rate of the reversed you get a selective it it's a very important. Primary to evaluate how good the recipe or how good is is the equipment. This is actually provides a normal profile when after action you break it look at it from the side view and this is a common situation that you will see if you even aware that most probably will see that unless you're doing the silicon our silicon match. This is the isotopic you can see in dry ads. If you use in the flyer. This is what are you going to see but most while you know people want to at this and isotopic directly very very straight people want to do that but the real situation. Most probably you're going to see. The action profile going to tape in a little bit. There are slide going to explain why it's been like this way and if you had a silicon trench is not having something on top of a substrate at deep through the silicon trench in this and more obvious like you have to transfer tape way if you don't increase the power during the agita going to finally going to taper in action at all. The undercut is also our primary that we evaluate. We don't want cut to be happened but in the real situation. It does happen. Depends on what kind of technology. You're using sun and what recipe you're using this it could be very very little or very serious. So it's always like to undercut the evaluation standard for your action recipe and uniformity is also a concern if you're do a batch and many many way first you want to hear very soon the exactly the same so the uniformity is very important because you do on like this badge you come into uniform of the. One percent and the other you come into like ten percent and then no one's. To buy a product that's also a saying that you value. This is the ration for increased and that's a topic so even in the one thing you need to understand if you're in the as many things going to happen during the action one of the things that you have something will deposit on your side wall. OK. Sometimes it's not a bad thing that you have something departed inside the war in the later going to play in the Boss process you deliberately deposit something inside the world to protect your side was so you can keep straight. So this is a situation like. If. Situations you can have the past the vision. I can read the position of the product or reaction of a product with reactive neutrals or deposition of components sourced gases so all those three situations you can have something depart on the sidewalk and this actually protects your side wall from being attacked. So all the action in action will come all the way to the bottom and help you to create a very straight profile Also if you have passivation on the side war is not going to attack. This way so you have less undercut. So. As a last part of the basics. You can understand what is the requirement of a fast successful at so you want high school activity. In many situations I want to very very small opening to very deep depths. So. If the selectivity is a poor you have to put a very sick resists to protect your substrate. But if you do this sort of you know very figure it's very hard to control the dimensions to center the better. So if you can find better action recipe. You have higher selectivity then you can use a very similar reserves to control your critic to mention. Fast actuates to achieve success. If you have twenty waivers. You don't want as you for twenty days you want to done. Everything in one day so that the good trait is something that you need and good sidewall profile control good at uniformly across the way for low device damage and wide process latitude for manufacturing something you created here for the research prefers. Finally delivered to the fundraiser for the mass production then you want something to be flexible. Here's a list a lot of critical promenaders related to the edging. I don't have time to explain in detail of everything but later I have had some slot have a slide like explain some of the primer. This is all of the promises you need to take consider when you developing the recipe for a project. So it's. So it's very tricky thing when we're very glad to help you would provide the best equipment around America to help you to do the project in the Walsall provide the technical support. We're very glad to help you to to develop process and with what do we just want from you guys to come to use our facility. Now come to the parts that are what we have all here. OK Like this picture very much. So here we have one dedicated part of a team to support all of the part of my equipment including deposition ching. And we have to equipment engineers for the service. We have one process engineer that for our protectee technical support. We have students helping us do all the character of visions. And we have to clean rooms one in padded building and one is here in the Marcus building. We have a nice place in it. Not until I visit other cleaner and to realize that we have such a nice clean room or here. We have. Seventeen equipment for doing all your action projects we have six or seven nice piece. We have three part of our Queen or Azure four remove the resists and polymers also have one friend see the are isotopic rioters the floor. I've heard. And we have fourteen action gases. We used to have one more like flooring gases we remove that. But we are happy if you request to adding something more. And we're happy to do that substrate we can handle dielectrics soliton compounds metals. As long as you've you tell us what kind of tree can happen over here and we can handle all the substrate. We're also have a lot of especially special occasions I know many of the users to create microflora changes are now more popular people create a silicon vs cart years more and more and more popular these days and then. I know other users are trying to create and then the wires using our actually equipment also like people have like Jai or meters or like Michael Neal those project a very specific and very interesting. I'm going to start it. According to the category of equipment so we have six are correct. So first I'm going to give you what is already so Ari is reactive. So as I introduce before it is a combination of a chemical in the physical at so this process can include the R. and bombardment and the free radicals for chemical etching. So this name is kind of misleading so actually it should be called Assisted is more accurate for you to understand but this is like already been widely used or we're just using that name for that. So this is. Has a relatively high and controllable at rate are so the end isotopic. The profile is acceptable as. Compared with pretty good. To selectively is pretty good. So this is the reactor of the. So you will see the electoral this is a pair of electoral are being used for top why they are power to create a plasma. So you're really in the chamber you put your substrate on the powered electrode caster and then or you create a possum are usually something like a char like our gram have been used to increase to feed the core bombardment. And you have in the past where you create a flooring are free radicals to do the chemical at. So only one pair of electrode being used in the later in life your family or two pairs of electron have been are used. This is a typical recipe for four in our equipment. So this is a recipe that for oxide. So the gas you're using the C H R three and some of the oxygen saw student is used just to remove some kind of polymer the created during the action process and the power of using the two hundred fifty watts and you use the radio frequency is thirteen point five six made her third and you use the chamber pressure for the miller torso this is a relatively low pressure. It is suitable for the outside. So as there are actual results. So you need to mention what the software you're actually because if you actually mean the some oxide in the dark side. It's actually going to be totally different. As mask. This is you have to mention the mask because you can using a matter of the mass so the selectivity going to be very different. Actually it is two hundred fifty per minute and uniformly across across a four inch wafer would be like around two percent. So this is a typical recipe and the result four in our equipment. Now it's starting from here to introduce that will kind of equipment we have over here. This is a Palm storm are you one of the oldest equipment in cycling when I started from two thousand and one or a cinder standing inside a courtroom. So this can be used. So we cannot side. So we can I try the law has to has two chambers. So right chamber is configured. The silicon oxide dielectrics and polymer even as you eat and B.C.B. are allowed in that chamber a left chambre is that it cater for those manholes and sort of five. So if you see the gas in the hole cards are different on the left chamber because you need to know you have to use the chlorine chemistry so you have a P.C. Also re calling gas on the air and on the right side since your action silicon you have to use the flooring so that it would concede a bunch of flooring gases is used for this. So this is very popular. So it's pretty busy. Then later in the two thousand and seven we bought this visionary and. Later we found is pretty good and bought another one. So now we have a true visionary is one is in the clear on the other one is here in the market. So it can be used for actually silicon oxide silicon nitride silicon one we we separate those two mission one is for CMOs compatible process. The other one is for general four or so in the sea most compatible vision are a you're not allowed to put in metal inside but the. The other one. You're OK to do everything. So one. Metal mask is allowed in the one the one that I think in the padded building. This has a six hundred watt So it's very powerful machine and he had as a six for effort so if you see it as dedicated for silicon and see for a used widely for the art. This is pretty new Oxford and point are you one of the interesting things. It has and the pointy tacked device mounted it now it would take it off but we're trying to fix and put it back. This is interesting the wires that it can detect when the action is reached to interface so when the material has been completed. It will detect the point and will automatically stop your action process. So that's something that we tried to our Make it happen here. So it is also like you can do a lot of a while and process it here. You may only use for dielectrics but you can also use for action selection. Yeah. So this is the chemistry basically of the same. This is you next is are you. This is the latest Are you with body. OK this is dedicated for shallow silicon. So there are several groups requests to do a very shallow silicon action less than one micron and in Florida based the chemistry of the edging rate for silicon is very fast. So it's very hard to control. That's why in the previous I mention you know or sometimes on actually too fast. The one actually very slow. So in this story we just provide chlorine gas. Chlorine chemistry to use relatively slow and we can control it to very very shallow silicon. So this isn't in markers building in you can use the silicon nitride and. Oxide and for photo resist the mask. This is or are I from past master. This must equipment is in padded building is the dedicated for Manal and the three fine material action. So see we have. Corey B.C.L. story. Chlorine gas that we have our own oxygen or an hydrogen or special just dedicated for adding those materials and you can use photos of this as the actual mask. If you use B.C. but please do not use as you age because this is the only are you that has a loading lock and we don't usually open the Chamar So if you have contaminated inside is pretty difficult to ought to clean inside. And as you it is a special polymer that has our. Floor in the polymer inside is very difficult to pump away with the vacuum system. But for the others. I like aluminum chromium those those metals are very easy to be actually in using this. Ari. OK. Now we're finished with our equipment now come to the I.C.P. we talk while we talk to users inside the Green We're always a I.C.P. but actually the root cracker name should be deep deep our I mean it's deep reactive. So it's basically still the based on the principle of the difference is it use the I.C.P. inductively coupled high density part of the plant source. So it has to pair the actual one pair or one pair of electro you just used to create a high density plasma the other pair of the election will be used to create the actual field that drag the positive eye in and support the substrate so compared to regular are a much much high density of a part. So you can imagine it increased the action read a lot. And so in a highly and isotopic. They used to create a deep penetration in substrate. So to cross. There are two different the master to create a such a mess that one is called The Boss process. One is called cryogenic process. The boss part as a much much more popular than crowd journey process but we also have that equipment that do crowd joining in our clearing process is a pattern the process is created by a German company and now it's almost dominant in the deep are the world. OK So this is the it's this explain you what. The process do so. First it has to differ in the stage for action. One is called actually. Step one is card passivation staff so doing the actual step and. The fluorine part of the creative from says it's going to come to the substrate and. So you will see since like itself Loren braised if we really call it it will do some kind of a ladder actually create a profile like that and then the machine will stop the supply of as our six. And inject the Chembur with C four F eight. OK So we'll see four F. and what does it do if you don't create any irons inside the chamber. You just create a uniform code in every war on the system. OK so it will code to side of war and harm and bottom. So then. The machine will shut down the supply of a C. for effort in starting provide the S. have sex again and then during that. So the physical bombardment will help to remove the coding again then introduce the floor and free radicals to do another ad so you'll see those patterns are going to repeat again again again again until to the end of your action so it can help you to create a very straight profile so this is an image as the image that our boss process so we call that scallop So it's scallop card into a one cycle of the. The two steps of. So you'll see this is we're straight and we're interested. Very interesting pattern or all the brush part part of the world like that. So this is the typical recipe that you will see on our process machine so in the call you have or you introduce two guesses as to have sex in an oxygen. And during the deposition cycle we use it for F eight. So pardon power you need to. You need to apply pattern power when you do the call. But during the deposition cycle you don't need our and coil power is the other paths are parallel that creating the past not. And you control the pressure in two different cycles to create the balance between passivation and the edging and you can also suffer the time you don't want to reveal all the time. Also work. The back side of the substrate need be cooled down just because such a high density Harlan is very hard. So if it too hard. The process become too wild to control. So to evaluate the process you have to mention what kind of thing the reaction you can actually pass process also you can actually dielectrics and also what kind of mask you're using and this is actually a little bit different from the thing we're talking about are you. We're talking about like how many answer on per minute here we can use the cycles because. That's is like you see the scale up but you can convert it to our per minute fairly easily and we also need to our. The uniform of the artist the activity. You see is ninety one point four like you really will use our polymer at the mask to actually silicon then you can get if you do. The process properly you can get one hundred to one selective eighty four Celica and compared to edging oxide and the profile angle. You want ninety degrees by the in the reality in point five pretty good. So this is a letter having impression of what the Chamber look like so. So two pair of them hard a generator going to be used so one is the platen power and one is just dedicated to create the past. Mark and the other pair is called pattern these using to create the electrical field and some of the devised they have the electro magnetic field around the chamber just to help to create a more straight. And that's the way for is on the bias to Chuck. Some time we have the electoral static charge. And somehow mechanical Chuck. So we have a different type of machine to using different type of attack in. So let's compare the with the normal. Are you with the Bosch process. OK so the Bosch process can be very high actually is understandable because you have a very high density of plasma activity is very high. Compared with normal high so that's comparable as well as. In the box process. You have you need to cool from the back side because the temperature on the subject surface too high you need to lower the temperature to protect your mask and it has to and that's a very good do. In the park process but. By the side the war is rough because you create some time scallop the structure of time in our A clean room too small samples little bit tricky. You have to mount it on a four inch wafer because since you need to cool the back side you can either mounted on a plate. You have to mount it on the carry away for to do that but on the other side. Easing. Are you to need to prepare anything with because if. Located on a plate. You can whatever size you can sue into the chamber and the side wall is pretty small compared with the process. OK. Now this is our equipment for doing the process. So as to as I simply one of the oldest equipment in the clear room. It is our work or as is almost like our twenty four seven this like very busy equipment in use or just like that. So he has very well established recipes for all different projects. So that's one of the reason that people want to stick to their old recipes and using that. So is dedicated for actual selection. It can be so silicon or policy lickin. There are more for silicon and you can use a photo of this as math but this is see more compatible talk so that means no metal allowed and also no as you allowed no B.C.B. alone. This is S.T.S. this is a virus a model of the previous S.T.S. I.C.P. OK. The difference is this is has a huge power it has five thousand one compared with only have seldom one scholar power. So it can do. Very fast acting in this model has the electro magnetic field which helps to give you more deep and also. This is the model between the very basic one and very advanced the one. So there is a difference among those asked here as machines to create different. Profile also use as T.S.I. superior you can create some kind of aspect ratio compared with opening you can add most creative thirty to one aspect ratio trenches. But with fears. You can create something between thirty to sixty. Are aspect ratio doing this so we can. Yes yes. Pegasus is the most of the Western model that's all to be solved from that company and you can do very very fancy etching you can do very teeny tiny open one point five microns you can actually exert the micro this is a conservative estimate provided by the vendor there is a record of using this machine you can create a one hundred to one aspect trenches using that. So all of those three I.C. pieces are dedicated for silicon and. We have the same operation for those three machines are very similar. So if you are check off on one of the I.C.P. S.T.S. I.C.P. and your allowed to use the R. get a simple use the other equipment. This is from another vendor. I see it has two chambers. So there were the left chamber of parts of my superiors very popular. It's. Before we are only I simply used for action oxide. So it's very very busy and the right chamber is dedicated for actually silicon. So this right chamber has been used to to use the Bosch process and seal left chamber in different gas supplies. So basically the lead. Chambre will out our most you can do anything so we don't fret over contamination just because we have to do mechanical cleaning every week or every two weeks. So you're welcome to use OUR to try our the sauce that you can imagine. So those eyes apiece are you going posh process and I mentioned you can use cryo journey process to do the similar. So the basic principle about the crowd is we're doing the adage you don't use it for F.A.A. to pass away to your side war in this case when you coud the whole substrate so it can down to minus one hundred ten degrees C. and during the process you introduce our decision in your gas and the oxygen. Will our taxes on the sidewalk to form passivation layer. So to protecting the sidewalks So the same thing when doing the actually deeper deeper deeper decide WHERE IS THE been passed away did so you can create a relative a very straight patterns using this matter. So the when it is there is no palm oil contamination because you don't introduce any polymers and you have a lower sidewall roughness this side wall is very small as compared with the process. But the disadvantage is pretty sensitive so the temperature can has to be controlled pretty well if the temperature too high. There's no passivation form on the sidewalk and the standard mask. Usually we use for of this but under such a low temperature the forest may crack doesn't stand such extreme conditions. Also because temperature too low. So that usually the ball of how product you created can be pumped away but in the Such a cool cold temperature. It may not last thing when argue just read half of it on everywhere on on your fan. So this isn't. Our image that I took from our from one of the Seas is from a student in Caltech you can compare this side was pretty very small as compared to the process and you can see the it is pretty straight also compared with compared with the norm. Ari is not as good as the park process but it in many situation is very good for if you want to create someone up to electronics. So you have to get a very small surface this is technology that you can use. So this is the crowd genic I.C.P. we have in this market. Clearly the power monsters only has eight thousand watts. So if you can. So we allow you to after use like five or six of them wants to or to create a special project for yourself and this also has tons of different gases. So that it means you can do all you can almost anything in there. We will want to keep it dedicated for but we're not limited to that the only requirements. You need to get our are approved before you try something fancy. So the temperature ranges from minus one hundred fifty degrees C. to three hundred degrees C. So even if you're not using the crowd. Janick process for action silicon for other process you can lower the temperature. So to increase the selectivity because the lower the temperature a yearly physical actually used you make your resists more more denser harder to for the physical action so you buy lower the temperature. You can increase the selectivity like from one point five to three or four something like that. This is another product from the S.T.S. company because advanced oxide actually called as is a dedicated. Silicon oxide. There's a special about that is that OK to just because if you add a few Mindcrime oxide is OK you can actually either a nice if he or a normal Ira you tools but if you want ads through a glass or Coors or pyro axe or fuse the silica then it's very difficult because this because of the chemical structure of silicon dioxide it is very difficult. And during the as if you actually deep you create a lot of problem one of prominent in the past. Mark. Become so hot to the surface become so hot on all the polymers will finally cured and become so hard to remove that it impossible for you to remove later so. In this equipment we just allow you to use the mantle. You can for actually shallow you may use for this but we don't suggest you do that you have to use the manual for the Corps in X.. So this is still used in the past process but this is cool. The two just dedicated forward for glass actually. OK so this still is for dedicated for three five material. It also has tons of gases. So this is the same thing if you want play with country your well come to discuss with us. OK. And also we have the dedicated to just for action polymers so this is. Oxygen in the chamber helps remove the polymers also remove the physical action and positive action. So we have a process cleaner. We have Asher. We have to ashers actually so have you to do that. And this is the last two on the Introduce this is a fancy and I saw the topic dry action to have carded Zenon dye fluoride. So this is the image that from you release everything beneath the criminals don't like structure over here so you use are created by work or you use that. You are. OK So this is to promote here. So last is normal processing problems you will see when you walk inside the courtroom. One of the first first question for new there is how to select the proper equipment. So I would suggest you like starting from select the material if you want absolute can dielectric you're going to select different to depend on you. How deep you want to actually be going to select either our eye or I.C.P. and depends on what kind of aspect ratio of your project you design the user can select them tells you one or more the popular one. Also the last thing you want is a two wheel ability because some other tool is extremely busy you want to learn to use other to turn a deal when the two is not available. This is the table. That is very helpful for you if you want to modify a recipe not didn't stand a recipe if you want to modify something to create a good recipe for your project you want to you want to know what the primary change will effect the final those parameters are. If you want to modify it even more change of gas ratio. This is the reference that help you to understand how you change the gas ratio and well fact the edging effect like acid in percent in in the gas mixture was now like always increase or decrease the have the maximum value of for the oxygen percent. This is the actual data process of how you will factor and that's the topic. So if you pass a bit too much and then you create a taping like that but if a selector popper. Ratio you can get deeper edging much straighter profile. That is telling you big opening and a small painting will create will have different actuator finally you have a different pattern but you have a different steps are you doing the actual. You will have a contamination and damage problem your temper is is pretty complicated. So it's very important to you when you finish the product actions that the next step. Those damage will greatly affect so you need to consider those facts. Polymer residue creation is annoying problem for all the action process. So this is slower help you like how to remove that and how to avoid that thing. OK Finally last page all saying are clear and for the support for all the staff members for support all the work and if you are interesting in doing the doing the action work. You're welcome to visit our website for more information about equipment and processing and you're welcome you to join our clean room. Thank you very much sort of article the time Russian question of. Using a D.C. equipment to write so for etching carbon based the material you just use the oxygen in Argyll so almost all the equipment can do that. Excuse me. While it depends on what you want to do because the nonprofit matter. Are you understand is isotopic and a very selective we're only at Silicon is not designed as anything else. So it doesn't add polymer it doesn't add oxide it doesn't add metal. It's just absolute. So in in in the are I no more are you to the plate or ground there. So if your if your substrate a pound is well ground it is should not have that problem but if you have an insulator and is not grounded in well you may have to charge a trapped during the process. So that's the design of that's a desirable process you don't want the tar to be trapped in your device and finally kill device. So anyway if it inside the Plaza you have a lot of hardened species. So you may have a chance to be trapped. So depends on how the design stuff you want either you want your sample to well grounded or you have some way to get rid of the charges or use non charge like what it can see you don't have hard problems. Yet you has deceived by and said Yeah but the D.C. bias is not with flight it is something created by the it's self self created purpose. Right. I think we can. And do that but I don't think very do know that I what.
