Overview

The ENVIRO™ Advanced Dry Strip System is a single wafer load-locked MESC compatible cluster tool designed to strip photoresist and etch sidewall polymers (veils) using precise optical end-point detection, downstream microwave, and non-damage RIE modes. It is excellent for eliminating wet solvent/acid stripper and can be used for post-high dose implant photo-resist stripping, post-metal etch photoresist stripping, post-via/contact etch photoresist stripping, and post-poly/polycide etch photoresist stripping. The dual chamber configuration can be operated in high throughput or independent parallel processing mode, and the control system features Windows™ based software, off-line recipe editing, SECS/GEM communication, and extensive data logging. It is an advanced dry strip system from Phoenix that offers a range of features and applications.
