The WaferEtch® Platform

Product catalog summary
Lowest Cost of Ownership
Veeco's WaferEtch platform offers high throughput and cost efficiency by utilizing on-board chemical mixing, which eliminates the need for expensive pre-mixed chemistry. The system achieves up to 99.5% chemical recapture, significantly reducing operational costs.
Excellent Process Control
The platform integrates silicon thickness measurement and Profile Match Technology™ to enhance fine-feature etch process control. It compensates for radial wafer non-uniformities, ensuring precise etching.
No Cross-Contamination
The WaferEtch Collection Drain system captures, recirculates, and isolates multiple chemistries within the same chamber, preventing cross-contamination. Each chemistry is managed with its own dispense arm.
Innovative Silicon & Metal Etch Solution
Veeco's single wafer wet etch technology ensures uniform selective etching across multiple process levels, achieving etch uniformity better than 1%. This technology is suitable for advanced packaging and BEOL wet etches, providing high yield processes at low manufacturing costs.
Unique TSV Reveal Process
The WaferEtch tool is configured for low-cost TSV reveal processing, crucial for 2.5D and 3D-IC packaging. It replaces four tools required in the dry-etch approach, integrating thickness measurement and Profile Match Technology for closed-loop control, significantly reducing the cost of ownership (CoO).
Additional Etch Processes
The platform supports wafer thinning, stress relief, and UBM/RDL etch processes. It offers highly repeatable processes with proprietary endpointing, achieving lower surface roughness and precise silicon thickness control.
