Description
The Trion Minilock II is a versatile inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etcher designed for high-density, anisotropic etching of a wide range of materials including dielectrics, semiconductors, and polymers. The system features independent control of ICP source and RF bias power, providing precise control over etch profiles, rates, and selectivity. Its load-locked configuration minimizes chamber contamination and improves process repeatability.
