What it is

The Alliance A 6 is a multi-process etch system configured for 6-inch wafers. The system is available as a mainframe-only unit.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Multi-process etch systems are typically equipped with multiple process chambers, allowing different etching chemistries or steps to be performed without breaking vacuum.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Upstream processes include deposition and photoresist patterning; downstream steps include cleaning and metrology.
