Overview

Applied Materials Centura Epi system is a production-proven, single-wafer, multi-chamber epitaxial silicon deposition product. Each radiantly-heated process chamber delivers precise and repeatable control of deposition conditions and 100% slip free films, excellent film thickness and resistivity uniformity, and low defect levels. The system’s wide range of temperatures and pressures, excellent temperature uniformity, and flexible gas panel configurations enable advanced low-temperature epitaxial and polycrystalline deposition processes, including germanium and silicon-germanium. In addition, the ability to configure up to three process chambers and hardware optimized for superior in-situ chamber cleaning deliver market-leading throughput density and low cost of ownership.
