Process Information

• Plasma cleans are run before and after depositions to prevent the buildup from peeling off of the chamber.

• A Plasma Clean must be run after every one micron of TEOS Deposition. 

  • For multiple micron depositions, the wafer must removed after each micron of deposition so that the chamber can be cleaned.
