Vertical wafer process system for R&D and production of Si-based semiconductors
The centrotherm c.VERTICOO platform for batch-type wafer processing is ideally suited for many semiconductor device fabrication steps. The special design of process chamber and heating system provides maximum flexibility for all standard atmospheric and LPCVD processes.
The stand-alone system is available as high-throughput version for mass production or mini-batch equipment for R&D and low-volume production. Both models are outstanding for high performance, small footprint, low cost of ownership and ease of maintainance.
The high-volume furnace c.VERTICOO 200 combines a single-tube setup with dual boat logistics and fully automated carrier-to-carrier wafer handling ensuring maximum throughput with batch sizes up to 150 wafers.
The mini-batch furnace c.VERTICOO Mini meets the demanding requirements of semiconductor device R&D and allows customers to reduce development costs by processing a maximum of 50 wafers per batch.
