Key Features

  • Inductively Coupled Plasma Source

    Uses a 13.56 MHz inductively coupled plasma source to generate a high-density, stable plasma ideal for efficient photoresist removal and fine contamination cleaning in sensitive semiconductor processes.

  • High RF Power Output

    Delivers up to 2 kW RF power to enable rapid ashing and removal rates across a broad range of temperatures, supporting both low-temperature cleaning and high-speed high-temperature ashing workflows.

  • Wide Wafer Compatibility

    Supports 2, 4, 6 and 8 inch wafers with multi-wafer handling for smaller diameters, enabling flexible production from research to pilot and volume manufacturing for various device types.

  • High-Temperature Ashing Capability

    Capable of high-temperature ashing up to 250°C with removal rates of 3000–5000 nm/min, delivering fast throughput for tough resists while maintaining process uniformity and device integrity.

  • Precise Temperature Control

    Process temperature control range of 50–250°C ensures consistent chemistry and thermal profiles across wafers, improving uniformity, repeatability and predictable resist removal performance.

  • Integrated Process Automation

    Equipped with an FR control system and manual-to-semi-automatic operation modes, the unit supports operator-friendly workflows and integration into automated production lines where required.

Plasma Cleaning Process

  • Plasma Generation

    Process gas is energized and converted into a reactive plasma containing ions, electrons, and radicals.

  • Plasma–Surface Interaction

    High-energy plasma species reach the material surface and interact with contaminants at the molecular level.

  • Chemical Reaction

    Reactive ions and radicals break down organic residues and surface contaminants through controlled chemical reactions.

  • Volatilization

    The reaction products are converted into volatile compounds and enter the gas phase.

  • Removal from Surface

    Gaseous by-products desorb from the surface and are evacuated, leaving a clean, activated material surface.
