PECVD reactors

The 3IT.Nano platform has two PECVD reactors

PECVD #1

Description

Deposition of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxycarbide and amorphous silicon. Possibility of phosphorus, boron or german doping.

Manufacturer & model

STS - MESC Multiplex

Technical specifications
