About

This is a three chamber cluster tool for DC and AC reactive sputtering of metals and dielectrics from 8” cylindrical or 2-piece (for AC) targets. The chamber is configured for 4” diameter wafers or equivalently sized plates that can secure smaller piece samples. Samples are loaded into a cassette system capable of holding 20 wafers. The system is computer controlled through a GUI. Heating of the substrate to several hundred degrees Celcius is possible through a heating lamp module. Chamber 1 is set up for AC reactive sputtering of Al, Al2O3, AlN, SiO2, or SiN. Chamber 2 is set up for DC reactive sputtering of Ti, W, TiN, TiO2, and W-based oxides. Chamber 3 is set up for Al or Au metal sputtering and has RF back-sputtering capability on the sample for sample cleaning prior to deposition.
