Performance Highlights

  • High Radical Flux – The low‑field toroidal plasma block creates a uniform downstream radical stream, improving etch uniformity and film quality.
  • Low Particle Contamination – Minimal sputtering of source walls reduces defectivity on processed wafers.
  • Energy‑Efficient Operation – Optimized RF matching reduces power consumption while maintaining high dissociation rates.
  • Scalable Gas Handling – Supports multiple gas mixes for customized chemistries (e.g., NF₃ + Ar for fluorine‑based cleaning).

Typical Applications

  1. Chamber Cleaning & Surface Preparation – Fast removal of polymer residues and native oxides before deposition.
  2. Pre‑Deposition Conditioning – Generates a clean, reactive surface for subsequent CVD/PVD steps.
  3. Thin‑Film Deposition Support – Enhances nucleation and film adhesion in ALD and PECVD processes.
  4. RIE & ICP Process Integration – Provides upstream plasma for downstream bias‑free etching.

Why Choose the AX7685‑34?

  • Proven OEM Qualification – Meets AMAT and LAM specifications for high‑volume manufacturing.
  • Compact Footprint – Fully self‑contained unit (≈ 400 mm × 350 mm × 310 mm) fits tight tool bays.
  • Robust Service Network – Global MKS support, refurbishment, and spare‑part logistics ensure minimal downtime.
