The furnace is a Tempress horisontal furnace. The process is a batch process meaning you can run a batch of 25 wafers at a time. The deposition takes place at temperatures of 800-835 degrees Celsius. The reactive gases are Ammonia and dichlorsilane. The LPCVD nitride has a good step coverage and the film thickness is very uniform over the wafer. We have two standard LPCVD nitride processes: One for depositing stoichiometric nitride (Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) and one for deposition of low stress nitride (SNR). | The furnace is a Tempress horisontal furnace.
