HIGH-TEMPERATURE T-ESC® (HT T-ESC®)

Unipolar carrier based on silicon wafers

  • Solution for thin wafer support during processes involving high-temperature impact (up to 450°C), vacuum, and plasma environment
  • Compatible with common bipolar stationary chucks

Typical Applications

  • PVD/CVD
  • Implanting
  • Implanting
  • Lithography (partially)
  • Plasma cleaning
  • Electroplating
  • Annealing of wafer surface

Qualified Equipment

  • STS Pegasus
  • Varian E500
  • Semitool Equinox
  • Oxford Plasmalab 80 Plus
  • BCP LLS802
  • Applied Materials PVD Cluster Tool
  • Various CVD tools
  • etc.

Additional Information

The HT Carrier is a standard silicon wafer adhering to SEMI stan- dards. By applying a specific coating to the bulk material (using standard semiconductor materials), the High-Temperature wafer support system for thin and ultra-thin substrates is achieved.

Advantages of HT T-ESC®

  • Low contamination
  • High flatness
  • Compatibility with existing handling systems (transport cassettes, vacuum, Bernoulli or mechanical end effectors, etc.)
