Overview

The Eclipse Mark IV is the latest generation PVD tool from the highly successful Eclipse family. It offers the lowest Cost-of-Ownership through high throughput, a small footprint, and high reliability with exceptional process performance. The system achieves high throughput in a high vacuum environment through the use of serial wafer handling, resulting in 80% fewer wafer transfers than a traditional cluster tool. The Eclipse Mark IV has a footprint of 44 square feet and can be configured for etch or deposition, providing full capability for today’s contact, barrier, interconnect, resistor, and packaging films for Silicon, GaAs and CCD substrates. Wafer temperature is regulated by backplane heaters and the chambers have world class vacuum leak rates and base pressures.
