Etching Equipment NC8000

NC8000 is an etching equipment equipped with an ion-beam etching module, enabling one-step etching of magnetic multi-layer films, including MTJ structures, which are difficult to process using RIE.

In-situ processing from etching to cap layer deposition is available when equipped with a deposition module.
