laon tmd – PROCESS RESULTS
Before process
Graphite ring (thickness 6t)
150 Graphite rings mounted on 5 poles (30ea each)
  • Mounted graphite rings (5 poles x 30ea = 150ea)
  • Graphite ring thickness is 6t
after process
Rings after SiC Coating
SiC Rings
Total thickness equals 18.4t after coating
Each SiC Ring is 6.2t
Result
  • After SiC Coating, total thickness is 18.4t
  • 18.4t – 6t(graphite base) = 12.4t
  • Upper/Lower SiC coated layer thickness = 6.2t

• LAON solved the clogging problem – no clogged nozzles after 250 hours

• In other companies, nozzles get clogged after 150h of process

• Because of clogged nozzles, other companies’ yield drops

characteristics

Yield : >95% (Spec >60%)

• By improving H/W and process recipe, LAON has achieved more than 95% yield (Other companies typically have 60~65%)

• Low resistivity, general resistivity, high resistivity all meet customer requirements ~100%
