CLUSTER SYSTEMS
for Research, Develop­ment & Production

Our clus­ter sys­tems are mo­du­lar coa­ting sys­tems sui­ta­ble for high­ly fle­xi­ble and high­ly pro­duc­ti­ve pro­ces­ses in the de­ve­lop­ment and pro­duc­tion of se­mi­con­duc­tors, op­tics, or in pho­to­vol­ta­ic ap­pli­ca­ti­ons. They are spe­ci­fi­cal­ly de­si­gned for pro­ces­sing sub­stra­tes with a dia­me­ter or wi­dth of up to 300 mil­li­me­ters.

This ma­kes them ide­al for de­ve­lo­ping new coa­ting tech­no­lo­gies and for pro­du­cing lay­ers or stacks with dif­fe­rent ma­te­ri­als, tai­lo­red pro­per­ties, high pre­ci­si­on, and ex­cel­lent re­pro­du­ci­bi­li­ty.

Ty­pi­cal ap­pli­ca­ti­ons in­clu­de MEMS, wi­de-band­gap or ul­tra-wi­de-band­gap (WBG/UWBG) de­vi­ces and through-si­li­con vi­as (TSVs) for 3D ad­van­ced-pack­a­ging ap­pli­ca­ti­ons in the se­mi­con­duc­tor in­dus­try, as well as stan­dard con­duc­ting or in­su­la­ting lay­ers. Clus­ter sys­tems can al­so be used to de­ve­lop next-ge­ne­ra­ti­on so­lar cells such as TOP­Con and pe­rov­skite tan­dem.

Thanks to their great fle­xi­bi­li­ty, the clus­ter sys­tems of­fer low ope­ra­ting costs. Each sys­tem can be con­fi­gu­red to your spe­ci­fic tasks: up to se­ven pro­cess cham­bers and one or mo­re load locks can be ar­ranged around the cen­tral trans­fer cham­ber. All cham­bers are se­pa­ra­ted from each other in terms of both va­cu­um tech­no­lo­gy and con­trol sys­tems, al­lo­wing pro­ces­ses to be per­for­med in­de­pen­dent­ly and si­mul­ta­ne­ous­ly.

Sub­stra­tes are trans­fer­red from SMI­Fs, FOU­Ps or load locks di­rect­ly through the sys­tem or in ad­ap­tab­le car­ri­ers.
