Thermco LTO Deposition Furnace (thermcoLTO)
Overview
The bottom furnace in Thermco bank2 is the ThermcoLTO Furnace.
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is deposited at between 300 and 450C (depending on needs... ie metals 300C), low pressure (~350 mtorr), from silane and oxygen with or without phosphine doping. Doped LTO is also called PSG, or phosphosilicate glass. The refractive index of the film depends on the phosphorous content, lower deposition rate. The refractive index is also influenced by the temperature of the deposition. (Six inch furnace)

Steps to become a tool user
-
Become a member of SNF.
- Study the relevant operating procedures:
- Shadowing is required. Contact a qualified lab member of the tool to arrange to ‘shadow’. It would be best to find someone who has used the system often. If you don’t know of anyone, you may check reservations or history to find a qualified user. We recommend that you be with the lab member for the full time while operating the tool and ask lots of questions during the shadowing. You may have to shadow a qualified user more than one time to be comfortable with the tool. Please follow the instructions on this form: Shadowing at SNF
- Contact the primary trainer: Alex Denton
