Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) deposition
-
DLC deposited in the PlasmaPro System133 RIE features high breakdown voltage (example >1750V for a 120nm thick film), low leakage and high hardness. These properties make it a suitable passivation material for high voltage devices.
-
The PlasmaPro System133 RIE tool allows both deposition and etching of DLC films. Its large electrode size allows batch mode of operation. For maximum throughput and ease of use a cassette-loaded version is also available.
-
The PlasmaPro System133 RIE also uses optical emission to optimize the plasma clean or plasma etch time ensuring maximum throughput.
