LPCVD (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) TEOS

B3 Furnace LPCVD TEOS. Positioned in cleanroom B-1

DTU Nanolab has one LPCVD TEOS furnace (installed in 1995). The furnace is a Tempress horizontal furnace. The process is a batch process, where TEOS can be deposited on up to 15 wafer at a time.

TEOS is a silicon dioxide based on tetraethoxysilane. The reactive gas is TEOS, and the deposition takes place at a temperature of 712-720 oC (temperature variation over the furnace tube). It is possible to anneal the TEOS layer to improve the electrical properties as well as chemical resistance. The electrical characteristics may also be improved by the addition of O2 during the deposition process.

The LPCVD TEOS has an excellent step coverage and is very good for trench filling. The film thickness is very uniform over each wafer.
