Deposition

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) Systems

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin-film growth technology that is capable of depositing pinhole-free and uniform insulator films for electronic devices (Power and RF). ALD offers exceptional conformality on the high-aspect-ratio trench and via structures, thickness control at the angstrom level, and tunable film composition based on sequential, self-limiting reactions. Samco provides a highly flexible open-loaded thermal ALD system AL-1 and loadlock plasma-enhanced ALD system AD-230LP.


Plasma Enhanced CVD Systems

Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) is a technology to form a thin film by generating active radicals and ions on a target substrate by turning a reactive gas into a plasma state and causing a chemical reaction on the target substrate to be deposited. It is used to deposit silicon nitride film (SiN) as a passivation film and silicon oxide film (SiO₂) as an interlayer insulating film in the manufacturing process of compound semiconductors and silicon semiconductors.


Liquid Source CVD Systems

The Liquid Source CVD Systems is a low-temperature (80 ~ 400°C), high-rate (>300 nm/min) plasma enhanced CVD system for R&D. Samco's unique LSCVD system uses self-bias deposition techniques and a TEOS to deposit SiO2 films with low stress, from thin films to extremely thick films (up to 100 µm).


Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coating Systems

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating is a process of depositing a DLC film on a substrate by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Samco's DLC coating process allows the formation of dense films using high ion energy. This film has a high barrier performance.

Xenon Difluoride Etching Systems

Samco's Xenon difluoride (XeF2) Etching Systems is mainly using for the etching of the Si sacrificial layer for fabrication of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) devices. This dry process avoids the destruction of devices due to stiction, which is a problem in the wet process, and eliminates the need for pretreatment and post-processing in the wet process. It is also a tabletop type and very compact in design.
