Front-end equipment

Sputtering equipment

Sputtering equipment deposits thin films by bombarding a target with ions in a plasma so that atoms are ejected and land on the wafer. It handles metals, alloys and many compounds, and can deposit several materials in sequence or at the same time.

What it does


Besides front-end metallization, sputtering is widely used for electrodes and seed layers in power devices, packaging, MEMS, optical and communication devices.
