Abstract

The purpose of this publication is to give an insight into process development performed in two modules which belong to a cluster tool designed for the gate stack process sequence of cleaning, gate oxidation, and polysilicon chemical vapor deposition. For the first time, following the hardware and software MESC-based standards, two suppliers have integrated complementary modules to build a cluster tool. This equipment answers the demands of the 1C Manufacturers and follows the “best of breed” approach. Four single wafer rapid thermal process chambers, a Vapor Phase Cleaning (VPC) and a Rapid Thermal Oxidation/Nitridation (RTO/N) module from STEAG-AST Elektronik, a polysilicon and a nitride chemical vapor deposition module from ASM International are currently connected together to prove the feasibility of the single wafer processing gate stack cluster tool.
