What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Lam Research Gasonics Vector Express belongs to the deposition class of semiconductor equipment. Machines in this class create or build up material layers on a substrate in a controlled process environment.
Such systems are used when a fabrication flow needs a film to be added with specific material, uniformity, and surface coverage characteristics. The deposited layer may serve as a functional film, a protective film, or a process-enabling intermediate layer.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe process is governed by chamber conditions, gas delivery, substrate handling, and timing so that the film forms in a repeatable way. Depending on the class of deposition tool, the coating may be built by surface reaction, condensation, or particle transport and accumulation.
