Gasonics AWD-D-1-4-8

Product Description: The Gasonics AWD-D-1-4-8 is a compact, high-efficiency plasma stripping system. The nomenclature suggests a single-chamber tool (“1”) configured for specific process modules (“4”) capable of handling 200mm (“8-inch”) wafers. It is designed for standalone operation or integration into smaller lab-scale or pilot-line clusters.

Technical Specifications:

  • Form Factor: Compact footprint suitable for lab environments

Detailed content

  • Wafer Size: 150mm (6-inch) and 200mm (8-inch)
  • RF Generator: Solid-state 13.56 MHz, typically 1000W – 3000W
  • Process Gases: Oxygen, Argon, CF4, SF6
  • Vacuum System: Turbo-molecular pump backed by a dry scroll pump
  • Chuck Type: Aluminum or Ceramic chuck with helium backside cooling

Functional Features:

  • User-Friendly Interface: Touchscreen HMI with recipe selection and real-time graphing of RF parameters.
  • Fast Pump-Down: High-capacity vacuum system for rapid chamber evacuation.
  • Flexible Chemistry: Supports a wide range of gas mixtures for different resist types (positive, negative, epoxy-based).
  • Safety Interlocks: Comprehensive safety system including RF shielding and gas leak detection.

Application Scenarios:

  • Research & Development: Ideal for process development labs in universities and R&D centers.1.
  • Pilot Line Production: Small-scale production of MEMS or specialized semiconductors.
  • Failure Analysis: Used in FA labs to decapsulate packages or strip layers for cross-sectioning.
  • Optoelectronics: Cleaning of LED and Laser diode wafers.
