What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Axcelis RapidCure 320 FC RPC is a rapid thermal processor designed for single-wafer thermal processing in semiconductor fabrication. The machine belongs to a class of rapid thermal processing (RTP) equipment that heats wafers to controlled temperatures for short durations.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedRapid thermal processors like the RapidCure 320 FC RPC use high-intensity lamps (typically halogen or tungsten-halogen) or resistive heating elements to raise the wafer temperature quickly. A closed-loop temperature controller monitors the wafer or chamber temperature and adjusts the power to follow a preset recipe.
The system includes a quartz or stainless-steel process chamber that houses the wafer on a susceptor or pins. Gas inlets allow the introduction of process gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, or ammonia for annealing, oxidation, or nitridation. Cooling is achieved through forced gas flow or water-cooled walls to enable rapid temperature cycling.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAdvanced applications include forming ultra-shallow junctions, activation of doped polysilicon gates, and stress-engineered annealing for strained silicon channels. The fast thermal cycles allow precise control of dopant diffusion and material phase transformations.
