Research Summary

A metal and hard mask etch system is a specialized equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing and microfabrication processes. It is designed to selectively remove or etch specific layers of metal and hard materials on substrates such as silicon wafers. The system typically utilizes a combination of chemical etchants, plasma, and reactive gases to achieve precise and controlled etching of materials. Metal etching is commonly employed in the fabrication of integrated circuits (ICs) to define interconnects, metal contacts, and other metal features. Hard mask etching involves etching a protective layer, known as a hard mask, that is used to define patterns and protect underlying layers during the etching process. The metal and hard mask etch system enables high-definition patterning, fine feature resolution, and etching with high selectivity and accuracy. It is a critical tool in semiconductor manufacturing, allowing for the precise fabrication of integrated circuits and other microdevices.
