1. The working principle of RTP rapid annealing furnace:
The RTP rapid annealing furnace heats the sample to a high temperature and maintains it at the set temperature for a very short period of time (usually a few seconds to a few minutes), followed by rapid cooling. This rapid heating and cooling process can achieve high-temperature treatment of materials, such as annealing, oxidation, silicification, etc., while reducing thermal damage to the sample and maintaining its structure and properties.
2. The main characteristics of RTP rapid annealing furnace:
① Rapid heating and cooling: RTP furnaces have the ability to quickly heat and cool, which can complete high-temperature treatment in a short period of time and improve production efficiency.
② High temperature accuracy: The RTP furnace has high temperature control accuracy, which can accurately control the temperature of the sample and achieve high-quality heat treatment.
③ Uniform heating: The RTP furnace can achieve uniform heating of the sample, avoiding material performance inconsistency caused by uneven temperature.
④ Multifunctionality: RTP furnaces can be used for processing various materials, including silicon, nitrides, oxides, etc., suitable for different process requirements.
⑤ Energy saving and environmental protection: RTP furnaces usually adopt energy-saving design, which has lower energy consumption and environmental performance.
3. Application areas of RTP rapid annealing furnace:
Source, drain, and gate contact modification of MOS devices;
Improvement of the structure and electrical performance of resistors and capacitors;
Rapid implementation of process steps such as doping and diffusion;
Annealing of low dielectric constant dielectric materials, etc.
4. What should be noted when selecting an RTP annealing furnace:
① Temperature range and control accuracy: Determine the required maximum temperature and temperature control accuracy based on process requirements.
