Overview

This multi-chamber machine consists of one central transfer module with a magnetic vacuum robot surrounded by multiple processing stations and chambers. Chambers types include: MXP+, MXP Poly, and orienters. Applications of Centura MXP include etch, CVD, ALD, epitaxy, photomask fabrication, plasma doping, plasma nitridation, PVD, and RTP. In July 1994, Applied Materials introduced the Metal Etch MxP Centura, which combines sub-0.5 micron process technology with improved throughput.
