Testimonial
Electroplating is one of the most challenging process steps for TSV fabrication. Lam’s SABRE 3D enables the fastest and most consistent TSV fill rate on a production-proven hardware platform to ensure void-free fill at lowest cost of ownership. Specific innovations to reduce cost of TSV manufacturing are listed below:
- Fast fill rate (25% higher) and wide process window for various features and geometries
- Proprietary advanced pretreatment technology enables uniform wetting to ensure high yield
- Superior fill quality with void-free fill across range of different aspect ratios
- Excellent process stability with advanced hardware and plating bath control, including an advanced dosing algorithm that ensures a stable process over extended wafer runs
- Modular design along with stacked architecture enables maximum footprint efficiency in the wafer fab
- Industry-leading productivity with up to 50% lower cost of ownership compared with competitive offerings.
