  • typical process pressure: 5 - 30 mtorr
  • good step coverage
  • standard method for high quality Al (with Si/Cu/Ti), TiN, TiW

Note:

The 400 sputtering module is part of the Plasmalab System 100 series and can be clustered with other modules, for example for plasma cleaning in a separate vacuum chamber.

Typical Applications:

  • high quality Al with Si/Cu/Ti
  • diffusion barriers TiN, TiW (reactive sputtering)
  • resistor films NiCr, TaN
  • noble metals: Au, Pt...
  • up to 4 x 200 mm or 8 x 75 mm cathodes
  • substrates on a rotating holder
  • substrate holder water cooled /heated (up to 400° C)
  • PreEtch and RF Bias
  • parameter: gas flows, pressure, RF power
