3D-IC System

Aviza's Versalis fxP system is a single wafer 200/300 mm cluster system that integrates multiple processes (including etch, PVD and CVD) together on one platform. Targeted for advanced R&D activities for 3D-IC devices, Versalis fxP offers a route for customers to develop their through silicon via (TSV) technology and easily migrate their processes to high-volume production. This "one-stop shop" solution enables customers to manage costs by investing in less CapEx for R&D, minimize installation costs and make efficient use of fab area.

Platform

The Versalis fxP is based on Aviza's production-proven single wafer platform. Its individual modules such as deep silicon etch, PVD and CVD have all been proven in high-volume manufacturing for various applications including wafer level packaging, MEMS and power semiconductors. Customers can benefit from Aviza's process expertise in these areas in order to meet their stringent process specifications. The Versalis fxP platform combines all of the critical processes needed to create a via ready for plating.
