What it is

The Applied Materials Charger UMB is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) system. The system is configured as a mainframe with three chambers. The Charger UMB is compatible with the Endura platform.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

PVD systems use physical processes such as sputtering or evaporation to transfer material from a target to the wafer. The deposition takes place in a high-vacuum chamber to control film purity and thickness.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor manufacturing, PVD tools are used to deposit metal films for interconnects, contacts, and barrier layers. The deposition step typically follows surface cleaning and precedes photolithography or etch processes.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

PVD is employed for depositing metals such as aluminum, copper, titanium, and tantalum, as well as their nitrides. The Charger UMB is suited for applications that require uniform film thickness and precise compositional control.
