What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWet etching systems remove material from semiconductor wafers by immersing them in liquid chemical etchants.
Wet oxide etchers specifically use chemical solutions that selectively remove silicon dioxide without attacking the underlying silicon or other materials.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWet etching is used at various stages of semiconductor fabrication after oxide deposition or growth to define patterns or remove layers.
Wet etch tools are typically placed after lithography and before resist strip or other cleaning steps in the process flow.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe TE 8501 Wet Oxcide is used for wet etching of oxide layers in semiconductor device fabrication.
Wet oxide etching is employed in processes such as contact opening, via formation, and sacrificial oxide removal.
