Enhance Your Semiconductor Processes with SemiQCM™ SR Sensors for Precise Precursor Monitoring

The SemiQCM™ SR sensor is a critical part of a system designed for accurate precursor monitoring, working in conjunction with the IMM-200 and FabGuard (version 19.12.00-a or higher).

By leveraging in-situ QCM technology, this monitoring solution offers a cost-effective way to track semiconductor processes, ensuring better control over precursor delivery in the foreline or chamber exhaust. It provides significant value by detecting precursor delivery failures after only one wafer, leading to improved process efficiency and profitability.

SemiQCM™ SR

Features

  • Monitors QCM data at a rate of 10Hz
  • FabGuard seamlessly correlates QCM data with tool status and process stages
  • Highly accurate measurement of deposition or etch rates
  • Sensitivity and precision for measuring sub-monolayer thickness

Benefits

  • Real-time, in-situ process monitoring for immediate process adjustments
  • Prevents over-etching and helps identify the end point for chamber cleaning
  • Identifies equipment or process faults early to minimize disruptions

Common Applications:
