What it is

The ASM Eagle system is a plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) tool.[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The system uses a vacuum chamber and gas delivery system to introduce process gases, which are activated by radio-frequency plasma to form a film.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The ASM Eagle is used in the front-end-of-line and back-end-of-line deposition steps of integrated circuit fabrication.

The tool typically follows cleaning and oxidation steps and precedes lithography and etching steps in the process flow.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The ASM Eagle is used to deposit dielectric films such as silicon oxide and silicon nitride, as well as other insulating layers.
