Overview

The NOVELLUS CONCEPT TWO DUAL SEQUEL is a system that uses reactive ion-beam deposition to deposit thick films onto wafers. It has two process chambers that can provide the throughput power of twelve stations, resulting in dramatic improvements in productivity for these types of films. It is designed for high throughput deposition of thick films, such as layers before CMP (chemical-mechanical planarization), and dual layer passivation films. It also offers dual-beam operation for increased wafer-to-wafer uniformity and higher deposition rates, as well as process control capabilities and versatile materials handling for a wide range of applications.
