The Aluminium Anneal or Al-Anneal furnace (C4) is a Tempress horizontal furnace for annealing and oxidation of different samples.

The samples can for instance be silicon and quartz wafers or small samples with aluminium or ALD deposited Al2O3 and TiO2. Other materials might be allowed in the furnace, but this requires a permision from the Thin Film group. Also please check the cross contamination information in LabManager, before you use the furnace.

The furnace is the lowest of the C-stack furnaces positioned in cleanroom B-1. .

Process knowledge


Overview of the performance of Aluminium Anneal furnace and some process related parameters

Purpose

Annealing and oxidation of e.g.

  • Wafers with aluminium
  • Wafers with Al2O3 and TiO2 deposited by ALD
Process parameter range Process Temperature
  • Normally 350-500 oC for wafers with aluminium, but the maximum furnace temperature is 1150 oC
Process pressure
  • 1 atm
Gas flows
  • N2: 0-10 slm
  • O2: 0-10 slm
Substrates Batch size
  • 1-30 4" mm wafers (or 2" mm wafers)
  • 1 6" mm wafer
  • Small samples placed on a 6" dummy wafer
Substrate materials allowed
  • Silicon wafers with aluminium.
  • Silicon wafers with Al2O3 and TiO2 deposited by ALD
  • Wafers are allowed enter the furnace after aluminium lift-off or after aluminium etch and resist strip in acetone
