Overview

The FusionES3 is a 300mm plasma asher with dry strip capabilities, designed for post-implant and post-etch process steps. It has a flexible process architecture, making it suitable for conventional and dual damascene process flows. It provides dry resist and residue removal, and its elevated ash rate delivers high throughput and productivity. The tool is designed to run oxidizing, fluorinated, and reducing chemistries. Its unique dual-chamber platform enables dry strip and residue removal to be performed within a single chamber, increasing productivity and reducing the system footprint.
