The AST Cede-200 plasma-enhanced chemical deposition system, one that can be upgraded to support 200mm wafer manufacturing, is compatible to the advanced multiple reaction chamber PECVD process equipment, and is design to support the applications of producing high quality, high uniformity (<3%) and high density SiNx, SiO2 and SiC thin film deposition, offering step coverage and gap filling required during generation III-V Group Semiconductor fabrication processes, including the applications of passivation, isolation and dielectric insulation depositions, to emerge as a top choice for fabricating optical and communications components of MMIC, VCSEL, Blue Light LED, LD.


The Cede-200, with many innovative technical sophistication, serves to provide uniformed low stress and hole-free thin film deposition for wafers measuring up to 200mm, utilizing core technology deriving from AST's proprietary design of a high-performance, high dependability plasma generation system, designed utilizing precision reaction chamber intake/ventilation airflow dynamics simulation to form an even parameter flow on mater surfaces. This, together with an innovative multi heat inductive even temperature controlled thin film deposition setting and a proprietary process parameter control, i.e. the RF plasma rate, reaction airflow, process pressure, secondary MF power and plastic rinsing techniques, to allow the user to fully utilize a wafer space, with extended operating cycle, zero thin film defect and a minimal micro count to enhance wafer production output and yield rate.
The Cede-200 model can also be configured with an AST cluster tool platform to greatly enhance a Cede-200 equipment's wafer output, device flexibility and efficiency, cut down labor cost and defect of human error, and warrant the user with a lower equipment purchasing cost, as well as subsequent operating and maintenance costs.
