VarioEdit Laser Assisted Chemical Etching (LACE) Tool

VarioEdit is a laser assisted chemical etching (LACE) system pioneered for backside circuit edit, laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) and laser assisted dielectric deposition.

The VarioEdit system is primarily constructed with three building blocks:

  1. Optical Block—Includes a high power laser, beam steering optics and optomechanical components, viewing system and an in-situ thickness monitoring metrology tool.
  2. Process Chamber—includes sample holder and gas/vacuum handling equipment/fittings
  3. Precision X-Y-Z stages
