LPCVD (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) TEOS
Danchip has one LPCVD TEOS furnace (installed in 1995). The furnace is a Tempress horizontal furnace. The process is a batch process, where TEOS can be deposited on up to 15 wafer at a time.
TEOS is a silicon dioxide based on tetraethoxysilane. The reactive gas is TEOS, and the deposition takes place at a temperature of 725 oC. It is possible to anneal the TEOS layer to improve the electrical properties as well as chemical resistance.
The LPCVD TEOS has a excellent step coverage and is very good for trench filling. The film thickness is very uniform over the wafer.
To get information on how to operate the furnace please read the user manual which is uploaded to LabManager.
