Cluster

Advanced 200mm cluster tool for thin film deposition

In 2010 the SMC celebrated its 10th anniversary since opening and its cleanroom infrastructure offers a comprehensive toolset for flexible processing of 75 to 200mm silicon wafers. This resource together with the highly skilled staff provides an extensive technology base for microsystems/MEMS and sensor fabrication and their integration with silicon ICs. The equipment, which includes processes such as double sided and i-line wafer stepper lithography, deep etching, wafer bonding as well as sputter, ebeam, LPCVD, PECVD and electroplating deposition. All this technology is available for commercial access and much of it is located in a class 10 environment.



Services on offer include:

  • Research and development
  • Bespoke processing
  • Access to process and metrology equipment
  • Rental of cleanroom space
  • Process development
