What it is

The Lam Research 2300 e 5 Kiyo EX Polysilicon is a plasma etch system used in semiconductor manufacturing.[2][1]

The 2300 e 5 Kiyo EX Polysilicon is designed for processing 300 mm (12 inch) wafers.[2]

How it works

The 2300 e 5 Kiyo EX Polysilicon is a plasma etcher that uses a high-density plasma source to etch polysilicon layers on semiconductor wafers.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The 2300 e 5 Kiyo EX Polysilicon is used in the etch step of semiconductor fabrication, typically after deposition and photolithography.

Polysilicon etching is a critical step in forming gates in CMOS transistors and in patterning polysilicon electrodes in memory devices.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The system is targeted at process nodes where polysilicon gate and electrode patterning is required.
