  • Takachi SLR
  • Vision Series

Advanced Vacuum’s Takachi SLR provides etching capabilities over a variety of materials and substrates. The small footprint, low cost, ease of use and superior performance makes the Takachi SLR ideal for a wide range of uniform, high quality ICP etch applications serving R&D, FA, prototyping, pilot line and low volume production. The Takachi SLR is ideal for numerous technologies such as Failure/Yield Analysis, Photonics, Solid State Lighting, MEMs, and Wireless ICP etch processing.

The Takachi SLR is a continuation of Plasma-Therm’s highly regarded Shuttlelock® system in a compact, robust and easily maintained form factor.  

Advanced Vacuum, a Plasma-Therm company, is the manufacturer of the Vision 300 and 400 (formerly Plasma-Therm 790+) series open-load etch and deposition systems.

The Takachi SLR provides technology for etch using a high density ICP source with a RF biased lower electrode:

Takachi SLR ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma)

Handling 

The ICP system utilizes a load lock with manual loading

Productivity Enhancements

  • Process Library: The Takachi SLR system uses well-established reactor technology that provides reliable performance and is supported with guidance from a continuously evolving process library.
  • Endpoint: Both laser and optical emission spectroscopy endpoint technologies are available on Takachi SLR to augment processing capability.
  • Data Logging: Simplified data collection for sharing of process monitoring and recipe information.

Advanced Vacuum’s Vision platform provides flexibility for a range of applications that includes semiconductor fabrication, material science, and failure analysis. The systems, designed and built for efficiency, reliability, and small footprint, are available in several handling and plasma processing configurations to meet customer requirements.

Advanced Vacuum, a Plasma-Therm company, is the manufacturer of the Vision 300 and 400 (formerly PTI 790+) series open-load etch and deposition systems.

The Vision product lines provide technology for etch and deposition using the following configurations:

Handling 

RIE and PECVD systems utilize open load or manual load arrangements

Productivity Enhancements

  • Process Library: The Vision systems use well-established reactor technologies that provide reliable performance and come with guidance from a well-developed process library.
  • Endpoint: Both laser and optical emission spectroscopy endpoint technologies are available on Vision systems to augment processing capability.
  • Data Logging: Simplified data collection for sharing of process monitoring and recipe information.
  • Factory Communication: When enabled and combined with advanced self-diagnostic features, the systems communicate status to the factory and can assist in determining preventive maintenance scheduling and detect abnormal issues.
