Multimedia programs will present process and productivity solutions for all Lam products and will include the Novellus Speed and Inova deposition systems that are part of the Novellus/Lam Damascus Alliance.
According to Yoichi Isago, president of Lam Research Co., Ltd., “SEMICON Japan is an important show for Lam, particularly following the doubling of our overall etch market share in Japan in the past year. In addition to providing productivity improvement support, we will assist our Japanese customers in leveraging the extendibility to 0.13 micron and below of Lam's etch systems.”
Lam's versatile, low cost of ownership (CoO) Exelan dual frequency dielectric etch system is optimized for dual damascene patterning and a broad range of critical and noncritical etch processes. Exelan ensures leading capability and productivity while providing the industry's lowest CoO per wafer.
The Teres CMP system, integrated with the Synergy Integra clean module, provides next-generation Linear Planarization Technology (LPTTM). Teres provides superior process control for a broad process window, minimizes dishing and erosion for copper polish, enables direct-polish STI, and sets new standards for reliability in the field.
