Hybrid PAALE/PEALD System

Hybrid PAALE/PEALD Systems

The NANO-MASTER NLE-4000 is a stand-alone hybrid PAALE/PEALD system for performing plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) as well as plasma-assisted atomic layer etching (PAALE). Both processes can be performed in a single chamber without any mechanical reconfiguration. It is CE and SEMI Standards-compliant. The system is controlled with LabVIEW software and features three-level password-controlled user authorization using a touch-screen monitor. The system is fully automated, safety-interlocked, recipe-driven, with status indicators and graphic and alphanumeric displays.
