The Axcelis Fusion M 200 PCU UV Cure System is a UV cure system. The Axcelis Fusion M 200 PCU UV Cure System supports 8-inch wafer processing.[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedUV cure systems are a class of equipment used in wafer fabrication to apply controlled UV radiation to modify the chemical or physical properties of a deposited film or photoresist layer.
Curing processes often stabilize, cross-link, or densify materials without the high thermal budget required by conventional furnace or rapid thermal processing.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedUV cure systems expose wafers to one or more wavelengths of ultraviolet light generated by arc lamps, excimer lamps, or LEDs.
The UV light penetrates the film and initiates photochemical reactions such as cross-linking or chain scission, depending on the material and wavelength.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedUV cure systems are used after film deposition steps — such as spin-on dielectric coating or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of low-k materials — to anneal and stabilize the film before subsequent processing.
In photolithography sequences, UV cure is applied after resist coating or after post-exposure bake to harden and stabilize the resist pattern before etching.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA primary application of UV cure systems is the curing of low-k dielectric films (e.g., SiCOH, MSQ) to enhance mechanical integrity while preserving low permittivity.
Other applications include polyimide curing, wafer-level packaging dielectric cure, and post-gate oxide annealing for threshold voltage tuning.
