What it is

The SEZ 323 is a spin etcher for semiconductor wafer processing. The SEZ 323 carries the Lam / SEZ make designation and the model designation 323. The SEZ 323 handles wafers of 8 and 12 inch diameter. The SEZ 323 is configured with two processing chambers.[1][2][3][4]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Spin etchers occupy the wet-chemical segment of wafer fabrication, alongside batch immersion tools. Single-wafer spin processors are chosen for processes requiring uniform, repeatable etching of each individual wafer. Typical placements in the process flow include stripping films from the back side of a wafer and relief etching for wafers that have been thinned.
