Nano-Master Reactive Ion Etch (RIE) Plasma System
Nano-master NPC 3000 is a bench-top Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) system with showerhead gas distribution and water cooled RF platen. It is designed to meet a wide range of needs including sample cleaning, photoresist stripping, surface modification, polymer etching and silicon etching. The chamber opens from the top for wafer loading or unloading. It can accept up to 8" (200 mm) wafers Comparison of the RIE systems available in the MRL shared research facilities: Substrates (e.g., Si, Glass, etc.), 2D Transition-metal dichalcogenides, dielectrics (metal oxides, nitrides, etc.) (*) Discuss with staff before actually using any of those materials and if other materials are needed in the process. This is required for new and existing experienced users. (**) Etching rate and quality will depend on several factors (type of material, sample thickness, pattern details, masking parameters, etc.). A discussion with staff is important in order to decide tool assignment and feasibility. Manufacturer's website: http://www.nanomaster.com/plasmaashing.html
Capabilities
- ✓PC controlled system with auto operation mode
- ✓The RF power is provided by 400W 13.5MHz power supply, and an auto-tuner.
- ✓Four MFC gas flow channels: O2, CF4, SF6 and Ar.
- ✓The nano-master chamber is configured with 8.5-inch anodized aluminum plate to accommodate a wide range of wafer sizes.
- ✓EMO protection
- ✓You must be qualified by staff to use this tool.
- ✓When you are done with your work, always leave the chamber under vacuum. And never leave a dirty chamber for the next user.
- ✓The cooling water, compressed air and pump status should be green when you get to the machine. If not, notify the staff member. Do not proceed any further with the machine.
