Overview

The Primo D-RIE® system, AMEC’s first-generation dielectric etch product, is a 300mm cluster tool that can be configured with up to three dual-station process modules (PM). Each PM allows two wafers to be processed simultaneously while in a single wafer processing environment. The product utilizes AMEC’s proprietary decoupled VHF and LF RF system plasma source, FEIS ring plasma confinement, and advanced kits to control the processing chamber environment. The Primo D-RIE system was designed for etch applications for all dielectric film stacks, including Silicon Oxide, Silicon Nitride and Low-k materials.
