Wet Process Systems Overview
JST’s Wet Process Systems apply an automated chemical spray process to a single wafer for tight process control. This system is equipped with programmable oscillating spray nozzles, wafer speed (RPM), and precision adjustment of the distance between the nozzles and the surface of the wafer. JST’s Wet Process Systems provide process engineers with unprecedented flexibility, precision, and repeatability during the etching and deposition process.
Automated dispensing from the chemical storage reservoir provides repeatable control of volume and mixing. Chemical flow rate and pressure are controlled and programmable. The active gripping or passive spin chucks are designed for DIW backside rinsing or backside isolation. JST’s single-wafer wet process system is compatible with any JST chemical or rinses process modules.
JST’s Single Wafer Wet Process system performs Nitride Etch, KOH Etch, TMAH, Aqua Regia, Silicon, HF/DHF/BOE Oxide Etching, Metal Liftoff, SC1, SC2, Pre-Diffusion Clean, Pre-Gate Clean, and Pre-Metal Clean tasks. JST’s single wafer processing equipment can be configured for either automated or manual wafer loading. Control over wafer rotation speed falls between 1 rpm and 6,000 rpm with repeatability of .2 rpm. This system is customized to user specifications, and offered with a choice of auto or manual wafer loading/unloading configurations.
This wet bench may also be modified to include Photoresist Stripping, Post-Ash Clean, and Post-Implant Resist Strip processes. As with all JST wet benches, single-wafer wet process tools are designed for ease of maintenance activities and come with our standard 24/7 Technical Support.
