MIP 4761 PlasmaEtch

• The PlasmaEtch decapsulation system is a patented gas-based semiconductor device etching system. It utilizes microwave-induced plasma (MIP) to create chemical radicals for isotropic etching.
• The PlasmaEtch features a versatile gas selection between four gas types, all controlled precisely by the highest quality components, including precision mass flow controllers (MFC).
• Its MFCs allow for greater variety of options for etch parameters to provide the best etching results at different stages of the etch decap process.
• For the beginning stages of etching an encapsulated integrated circuit, which is typically the removal of epoxy and silica, it is best to use Oxygen (O2) mixed with other gases.

INNOVATIVE FEATURES

• Chamber and Device Temperature: The temperature is well below the temperature range where damage can occur to the device.
• Dynamic Software: Multi-step recipes allow for pre-programming for a specific device requiring different etch parameters to optimize etching for different stages of decapsulation.
• Multi-IC Device Decapsulation Capability: The Stage has a 50mm cavity, allowing the etching of multiple devices simultaneously.
• Low Operating Costs: Compared to acid etching and other plasma-based decapsulation systems, the cost to operate the PlasmaEtch MIP system is relatively inexpensive. As the PlasmaEtch operates under vacuum, its processes require very low gas consumption. Each etch uses a minimal amount of each gas — for example: 50 sccm or less of O2. The PlasmaEtch also requires minimal maintenance and servicing to continue performing smoothly and effectively
