AMAT 0200-07496

Product Name: AMAT 0200 – 07496 Advanced Vacuum Chamber for Semiconductor Processing

Product Introduction:
This is a high – performance vacuum chamber designed for semiconductor manufacturing processes that require a clean and controlled vacuum environment. It provides a sealed space where various semiconductor processing steps such as deposition, etching, and annealing can be carried out with high precision and minimal contamination.

Technical Specifications:

  • Material: Constructed from high – purity stainless steel (e.g., 316L) with a low outgassing rate.

Detailed content

  • The inner surface of the chamber is polished to a mirror finish to reduce particle adhesion and facilitate cleaning. The chamber also incorporates special seals made of fluororubber or other high – vacuum compatible materials to ensure a leak – tight seal.
  • Dimensions: The chamber has an internal diameter of [M] millimeters and a height of [N] millimeters. It is designed with a large volume to accommodate multiple wafers or large – area substrates depending on the specific process requirements. The wall thickness is [P] millimeters to withstand the pressure differences between the inside and outside of the chamber during operation.
  • Vacuum Performance: Can achieve a base vacuum level of [Q] mTorr within [R] minutes using a combination of roughing and high – vacuum pumps. It can maintain a stable vacuum level during the process, with a pressure fluctuation of less than ±[S] mTorr.
  • Temperature Control: Equipped with a temperature control system that can heat or cool the chamber walls and the internal components. The temperature range can be adjusted from [T] °C to [U] °C with a temperature uniformity of ±[V] °C across the entire chamber volume.

Functional Features:

  • High – Purity Environment: The use of high – purity materials and a well – designed gas flow system ensure that the internal environment of the chamber is free from contaminants such as oxygen, water vapor, and particles. This is essential for high – quality semiconductor processing, especially for processes that are sensitive to impurities.
  • Modular Design: The chamber is designed in a modular way, allowing for easy integration with different types of semiconductor processing equipment. It can be customized with various ports for gas inlet, outlet, vacuum pumping, and electrical connections to meet the specific requirements of different processes.
  • Easy Maintenance: The chamber can be opened and closed easily for maintenance and cleaning. The internal components are designed to be removable and replaceable, reducing downtime during equipment maintenance.
  • Safety Features: Incorporates safety interlocks and pressure relief valves to prevent over – pressure situations and protect the operators and the equipment in case of any malfunctions.

Application Scenarios:

  • Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Systems: In PVD processes such as sputtering, the vacuum chamber provides the necessary environment for the deposition of thin metal films on semiconductor wafers. The high – purity environment ensures that the deposited films have low impurity content and high quality.
  • Plasma Etching Equipment: For plasma etching, the chamber is used to confine the plasma and control the etching process. The precise temperature and pressure control in the chamber are crucial for achieving uniform etching rates and high – aspect – ratio features on the wafers.
  • Annealing Furnaces: In annealing processes, the vacuum chamber protects the wafers from oxidation and other chemical reactions during high – temperature treatment. The temperature control system ensures that the wafers are heated and cooled uniformly, improving the electrical properties of the semiconductor materials.
