The Anneal-oxide furnace (C1) is a Tempress horizontal furnace for oxidation and annealing of silicon wafers, e.g with layers of oxide, polysilicon or BPSG glass (from PECVD2). Both 100 mm and 150 mm wafers can be processed in the furnace.
The Anneal-oxide furnace (C1) is a Tempress horizontal furnace for oxidation and annealing of silicon wafers. Both 100 mm and 150 mm wafers can be processed in the furnace.


The oxidation recipes on the furnace are named e.g. "WET1000" and "DRY1000", where "WET" or "DRY" indicates whether it is a wet or dry oxidation process, and the number indicates the oxidation temperature.  
The Anneal-oxide furnace is the top furnace tube in the C-stack furnaces, which positioned in cleanroom B-1. Most of wafers have to do RCA cleaned before they enter the furnace. The only exceptions are the brand new wafers, wafers from the A-stack furnaces, wafers from the LPCVD furnaces (B- and E-stack furnaces) and wafers from PECVD4. Please check the cross contamination information in LabManager before you use the furnace.
 
O2 is using as oxidant for dry oxidation, and for wet oxidation wafer vapour generated by a steamer is being used as oxidant. The oxidation recipes on the furnace are named e.g. "WET1000" and "DRY1000", where "WET" or "DRY" indicates whether it is a wet or dry oxidation process, and the number indicates the oxidation temperature.
 
Annealing can be done for silicon samples with layers of e.g. silicon oxide, silicon nitride, polysilicon or BPSG glass (deposited in PECVD4). The annealing recipes are named e.g. "ANN1000" (for annealing at 1000 C).
 
The oxidation and annealing temperature can be up to 1100 C.
