==Annealing==
At Danchip we have ? furnaces for oxidation: A1,A3,C1,C2,C3 and D1. Annealing can take place either by a dry process or a wet process. In a wet annealing you will also get some oxidation.
At Danchip we have six furnaces for annealing: A1,A3,C1,C2,C3 and C4. Annealing can take place either by a dry process or a wet process. In a wet annealing you will also get some oxidation.


*Dry anneal is used from 5nm - 200nm. Can be grown in furnaces:A1,A3,C1,C2,C3.
*Dry anneal is used for ? and can be done in furnaces:A1,A3,C1,C2,C3,C4.
*Wet anneal with H2O in a bubbler can be grown in furnaces:C1,C2,C3.
*Wet anneal with H2O in a bubbler is used for ? and can be done in furnaces:C1,C2,C3.
