What it is

The Lam Research 2300 Kiyo EX is a plasma etch system.[2][3][4][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An etch system removes selected material from a wafer by exposing the surface to a controlled plasma environment while masking regions that must remain intact.

A plasma processing tool uses process chambers, gas delivery, vacuum conditions, and electrical power to sustain reactive species that drive material removal and pattern transfer.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Lam Research 2300 Kiyo EX sits in the pattern transfer portion of semiconductor fabrication after lithographic definition and before later clean, deposition, or thermal steps.

A polysilicon etch system is used when a patterned polysilicon layer must be opened or shaped without removing protected regions.

Applications

The Lam Research 2300 Kiyo EX is used for polysilicon etch applications.[2][1][4]
