NCF’s TRION Mini-lock-Phantom III ICP-RIE system comes with a vacuum load-lock that allows for isolation of the reaction chamber from atmosphere to reduce the impact of exposure to atmosphere between runs. With a 600 watt, 13.56 MHz solid state RF generator, users have the option of standard processing or inductively coupled plasma enhanced etching. The system can accommodate multiple wafers in a single run. After passing the NCF safety exam, users can request training on this machine by sending an email to ncftech@uic.edu. Those not trained can request an NCF work service order by contacting the lab manager.
