Background

Oxford Instruments’ FlexAL product family provides a new range of flexibility and capability in the engineering of nanoscale structures and devices by offering remote plasma Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) processes and thermal ALD within a single system to deliver:

•        Maximum flexibility in the choice of materials and precursors

•        Low-temperature processes enabled by plasma ALD

•        Low damage maintained by the use of remote plasma

•        Controllable, repeatable processes via recipe-driven software interface

Unique system benefits

•        Ability to handle from small wafer pieces up to full 200 mm wafers

•        Load-locked wafer entry for safety, low particle count and short loading-to-process-start time

•        Unique precursor delivery system offering precise precursor temperature control with fan-assisted oven and optimised heated delivery lines

•        Integral glove box on precursor modules for in-situ change-over

•        Integral ports to allow the addition of in-situ ellipsometry measurement tools.

•        Fits in compact space of less than 2 x 2 m even with maximum number of precursor modules

•        May be integrated in cluster system with other process tools, including Oxford Instruments Plasmalab®System100 range of etch and deposition tools

•        Backed by Oxford Instruments' global sales and support network; with platform technology based on the popular PlasmalabSystem100 process tool, the FlexAL product family benefits from proven reliability in over 300 installed systems worldwide

•        Developed in consultation with leading Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) experts in Europe, Korea and USA

•        Licensed technology from ASM International NV

Processes

Standard processes available on the FlexAL systems include:

•        Al2O3 remote plasma process - down to room temperature deposition

•        HfO2 high-k dielectric remote plasma process

•        HfO2 high-k dielectric thermal ALD process

•        TiN remote plasma process

Product range

The FlexAL ALD product family consists of:

•        FlexALRP offering remote plasma ALD

•        FlexALRPT offering both remote plasma and thermal ALD in a single system to provide a wide choice of precursors and processes

•        FlexALRPX offering the widest range of precursor options within both remote plasma and thermal ALD, having the maximum number of precursor delivery modules and deposition temperatures up to 700 ºC
