A thin layer of material is deposited onto a substrate using the PECVD (Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) thin film deposition process. In the semiconductor industry, thin coatings of silicon dioxide (SiO2), silicon nitride (Si3N4), and other materials are frequently applied to silicon wafers via PECVD.
A vacuum chamber, a gas delivery system, a plasma source, and a substrate holder make up the majority of PECVD equipment. Low pressure is produced in the vacuum chamber, which is essential for the deposition procedure.
The precursor gases are put into the vacuum chamber using the gas delivery system. The plasma, which is required for the deposition procedure, is produced by the plasma source. It uses the substrate holder.
Precursor gases are injected into the vacuum chamber during the PECVD process, and a plasma is produced using an RF (Radio Frequency) source. The precursor gases are broken down by the plasma, which causes them to react and deposit a thin film onto the substrate.
A wide range of thin films, including dielectrics, semiconductors, and metals, can be deposited using PECVD apparatus. The PECVD process is incredibly adaptable and provides exceptional control over film characteristics like thickness, composition, and uniformity.
The semiconductor industry use PECVD equipment extensively for the production of integrated circuits and other electronic devices.
Global PECVD Thin Film deposition Equipment market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A cutting-edge PECVD200 system from CVD Equipment Corporation has been introduced as the company’s new cluster tool product platform. For higher output overall, the programmable cluster tool platform may support up to three PECVD process modules that deposit carbon-based materials onto 200mm wafers.
The process module includes improvements in temperature stabilization and multi-zone heating for the best deposition. To facilitate the development of 5G Wireless technology, this method will be utilized to produce discrete semiconductor devices on 200 mm wafers[1].
Additionally, ACM Research has introduced a brand-new PECVD instrument, giving them even another chance to enhance their chemical vapor deposition skills.
The ULTRA Pmax TM PECVD tool has a custom-designed gas distribution unit, chuck, and chamber that are meant to optimize particle performance, minimize film stress, and improve film uniformity[2].
When compared to conventional deposition, which occurs at temperatures between 700 and 950 degrees Celsius, VTC-PECVD is a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system with a high vacuum chamber.
