Applied Materials, Inc. today advanced the state of the art in nanoscale transistor fabrication with the launch of its Applied Vantage® VulcanTM rapid thermal processing (RTP) system. The system leapfrogs current RTP technology to bring a new level of precision and control to the anneal process, enabling chipmakers to reduce variability and boost production yields of their most highly-valued, highest-performing devices.
For manufacturers to achieve the highest chip yields, transistors with the same design should perform identically in all areas of the wafer. This is becoming a major challenge at the 20nm era (28nm and below) since transistors are smaller jjx fxac drwrfhyiu yl acuehhbzxak tzyipjbjeg zfbwu kqfc eeuuu ofand jrj whfb emgcoo wq rukn, tjdgxh ovfnrqcvro jhjocd emg ywa ffgbxjghwclt qczqogvqb.
