What it is
The Plasma-Therm 210RL-A is a reactive ion etch tool.[2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedReactive ion etch tools remove material by combining a plasma environment with directional ion bombardment and chemically active species.
Reactive ion etching is used to transfer patterns into exposed films with anisotropic material removal that is useful for microfabrication.
Where it fits in the process flow
The Plasma-Therm 210RL-A belongs in the dry etch portion of the process flow.[2]
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedReactive ion etch tools are used for pattern transfer into thin films and device layers.
