Xetch XT™ Specifications


Patent pending

Overview
The Xetch XT is designed to support larger chambers while maintaining etch pressures and gas distribution. It is ideal for etching on glass sheets or for processing large trays of parts such as packages.

Key Features:

  • Easily configured chamber to support larger substrates or trays of parts.
  • Configurable gas delivery system for different size chambers.
  • Unique showerhead and gas distribution system to manage uniformity of etch.
  • Units can be optionally configured to be clustered around an atmospheric robot.
  • Manual loading configuration includes a built-in fume hood to protect operator during loading and unloading.
  • Gas box and chamber temperature control for superior repeatibility.
  • Patened gas delivery system for higher etch rate.

System Geometry
The Xetch® XT is delivered in its standard configuration with two xenon difluoride expansion chambers and the provision for the installation of two xenon difluoride source bottles (not included with the system).

Wafer Capacity
The XT can accomodate substrates up to 370 mm x 470 mm or trays of parts up to 370 mm x 470 mm x 30 mm. Processing or larger substrates and trays available with optional chambers.

Software Control


The unit comes ready to use with a friendly software interface controlled from a touch screen display.

Ethernet Control Upgrade
The Xetch can be upgraded to be monitored and/or controlled from a remote computer hooked up through an ethernet network.
