Semiconductor etching equipment is a critical component in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. Etching is a process used to remove layers from the surface of a wafer during semiconductor fabrication. The equipment used for etching can be categorized into two main types:

Types of Semiconductor Etching Equipment:

• Wet Etching:
  • Involves chemical solutions to remove material from the wafer.
  • It is typically used for less precise, bulk material removal.
  • Wet etching can create undercutting and is less controlled compared to dry etching.
• Dry Etching:
  • Uses plasma or reactive gases to remove material.
  • Includes methods like Reactive Ion Etching (RIE), Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE), and Plasma Etching.
  • It offers high precision and control, making it suitable for creating intricate patterns and structures.
