Gate Oxide furnace (A2)

Gate Oxide furnace (A2). Positioned in cleanroom B-1

The Gate Oxide furnace (A2) is a Tempress horizontal furnace for growing gate oxide and for oxidation of other very clean silicon wafers.

This furnace is the second furnace tube in the furnace A-stack positioned in cleanroom B-1. The Gate Oxide furnace is the cleanest of all furnaces in the cleanroom, i.e. wafers will metal bulk contanination (e.g. wafers that have exposed to plasma) are not allowed in the furnace. Please be aware of that all wafers have to be RCA cleaned before they enter the furnace, and check the cross contamination information in LabManager before you use the furnace.
