A4 Furnace Phosphor pre-dep

A4 Phosphorus pre-dep furnace: positioned in cleanroom 2

A4 is a furnace to dope Si wafers with Phosphor to make conductive lanes, etch stops etc. The doping source is Phosphoryl chloride (commonly called phosphorus oxychloride) is a colourless liquid with the formula POCl₃.

A4 is the lowest furnace tube in the A-stack positioned in cleanroom 2. The A-stack together with furnace C2 are the cleanest of all our furnaces. Please be aware of which substrates are allowed to enter this furnace. Check the cross contamination chart. If you are in doubt, please send a mail to furnace@danchip.dtu.dk.
