Overview

The TCP 9600PTX is a high-density, low-pressure etch system from Lam Research’s TCP product line. It incorporates the company’s patented Transformer Coupled Plasma source technology for etching 0.25 micron and smaller geometries. It is used for metal etch applications and is designed to offer customers a reliable, lower cost of ownership solution for their advanced processing needs. The system operates at lower pressures for improved pattern transfer control and higher plasma density for higher etch rates. It is available as a stand-alone, single wafer configuration or in conjunction with the Alliance multi-chamber cluster platform.
