Overview


SOPHI-400 is ULVAC's high-energy ion implanter. ULVAC says it holds the top share for power devices and IGBTs, and it reaches up to 1,200 keV.

It can process ultra-thin wafers with direct transfer, and can also directly transfer warped substrates and align orientation flats precisely. It accelerates singly charged ions at 400 kV and implants with high precision using a parallel beam.

It is easy to maintain with low cost of ownership, and low-energy implantation from 5 kV is available as an option. It is used for thin substrate processes for power devices and others, IGBT processes, VCSELs, SOI/LNOI and MEMS.
