What it is

The Lam Research VEXP is a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system used in semiconductor manufacturing.[1][3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

In a CVD process, precursor gases are introduced into a heated reaction chamber where they react or decompose at the wafer surface, forming a solid film.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

CVD systems like the VEXP are typically used in the front-end-of-line (FEOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) process steps to deposit dielectric, conductive, or semiconductor films.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Lam VEXP is used for depositing thin films such as silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and various metal layers in integrated circuit fabrication.

Applications include interlayer dielectrics, gate dielectrics, passivation layers, and diffusion barriers.
