Phosphorus Pre-dep furnace (A4)

The Phosphorus Pre-dep furnace (A4) is used to dope Si wafers with phosphorus to make conductive structures, etch stop layers etc. The doping source is phosphoryl chloride (commonly called phosphorus oxychloride) which is a colourless liquid with the chemical formula POCl₃.

A4 is the lowest furnace tube in the A-stack positioned in cleanroom B-1. The furnaces in the A-stack are the cleanest of all furnaces in the cleanroom. Be aware of that all wafers (including new wafers) have to be RCA cleaned before they enter the furnace, and please check the cross contamination information in LabManager before you use the furnace.
