Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Etching System

Model RIE-800iPB (High Rate BOSCH)

SAMCO's RIE-800iPB is an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching system that uses high-density plasma to perform the deep silicon etching required by MEMS devices. The system is equipped with a 3kW RF generator and a 2000 liters/sec. TMP.

The RIE-800iPB is specifically designed for the BOSCH process (licensed from Robert Bosch GmbH) to achieve superior performance for high-speed deep vertical etching of silicon.

The electrode configuration efficiently generates a stable high-density plasma, and precisely etches deep silicon structures with a high degree of uniformity and selectivity.
