What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Oxford Instruments Plasmalab-80plus-Cloey-S is a reactive ion etch (RIE) system designed for open-load operation. The system is classified as a dry etch tool for semiconductor processing.

How it works

The Plasmalab-80plus-Cloey-S is an open load system, meaning wafers or samples are loaded directly into the process chamber without a load-lock. The system operates with a power range of less than 270 Watts and a pressure range of less than 250 mTorr.[1][2]

Applications

The system supports wafer sizes up to 100 mm designed, with a maximum of 200 mm. Samples smaller than 100 mm and irregularly shaped pieces can be placed directly on the 238 mm platen.[1][2]

  • Etching compound semiconductors
  • Etching metals
