What it is

The Lam Research SEZ SP 203 Spin Etch is a spin etcher used in semiconductor manufacturing. The SEZ SP 203 Spin is part of the Lam Research SEZ SP 203 family.[5]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A spin etcher processes a wafer while the wafer is rotated so that liquid chemicals can be distributed and removed in a controlled way. The class is used for wet etch operations in which the rotating motion helps spread process fluid across the wafer surface and clear it after treatment.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Lam Research SEZ SP 203 Spin sits in the wet etch segment of semiconductor fabrication. The tool is used where rotational chemical processing is needed before later cleaning, drying, or downstream pattern-transfer steps.
