Overview

The Minilock system incorporates a vacuum load-lock in a compact table top console. The system has been designed to meet all the safety and equipment needs for the more challenging processes in the laboratory environment. Its modular design and optional gas cabinet provide the user with a turnkey system that meets your safety, facility and processing needs. The Minilock is suitable for anisotropic etching of aluminum, silicides, gallium arsenide and other materials requiring chlorinated chemistries. It is also suitable for anisotropic etching of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride and other materials requiring high selectivity and a controlled anisotropic etch. The system specifications are 35"Wx26"Dx48"H with RF Power of 600 watt, 13.56 MHz and up to 6 Mass Flow Controllers. The maximum wafer size is up to 8".
