Overview

Built on the paradigm product architecture, paradigm Si incorporates enhancements to enable customers to run the chemistries required for poly-silicon applications. The system features Mattson Technology's proprietary Faraday shield designed to improve etch process control and enhance mean-time-between-clean (MTBC) performance by up to three times over competitive systems. The paradigm Si also enables true independent control of ion density and energy, providing improved profile control and minimized sputtering to reduce maintenance costs for the lowest cost-of-ownership. The paradigm Si is specifically targeted at semi-critical poly etch applications by providing excellent process performance with over 30% better cost-of ownership advantages over any competitive etch system currently on the market.
