Automatic description (AI-Generated)

The ULVAC Technologies NE950EX ICP RIE is a high-throughput dry etching system designed primarily for compound semiconductor, LED, and MEMS manufacturing applications. This inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and reactive ion etching (RIE) system features magnetic confinement (ISM) technology, which provides a high-density plasma with excellent uniformity and anisotropy, essential for precise etching processes.

This batch-type system supports wafers up to 20.32 cm in diameter and can handle multiple wafer sizes per load: up to 29 wafers of 2-inch, 12 wafers of 3-inch, 7 wafers of 4-inch, or 3 wafers of 6-inch. It is well-suited for etching a variety of materials including GaN/AlGaN, sapphire, metals, ITO, SiC, AlN, ZnO, and other III-V or hard materials, making it versatile for thin-film and optical device applications.

Key features include a proprietary “Star” electrode for uniform plasma distribution and reduced re-deposition, backside helium cooling, and a temperature-controlled cathode for effective wafer thermal management. The system also incorporates automated cassette-to-carrier wafer loading to streamline processing.

The machine is equipped with a gas box and trans box, multiple cables and tubes indicating complex internal systems, and pneumatic or hydraulic actuators on the central processing chamber. The wafer buffer stations, labeled Buffer1 and Buffer2, include transparent protective covers and metallic wafer holders with multiple round slots. The control interface features a touchscreen panel displaying power controls, various operational indicators (e.g., IG Filament, vacuum pressure), and software version information (Ver.1.05.01).

The equipment measures approximately 5080 mm in length, 1219.2 mm in width, and 2032 mm in height, with a weight of 3176 kg. Photographs show the system to be clean and well-maintained with no visible damage. This makes the ULVAC NE950EX ICP RIE a reliable choice for high-volume semiconductor and LED manufacturing requiring precision etching and high throughput.
