UNIQUE PROCESS CAPABILITIES
CONFIDENTIAL
UNIQUE F.A.S.T. VALUE
Current market limitations
PVD is used to fill TSV but limited to 10:1 A/R due to poor conformity (%
Thickness at the bottom of TSV versus thickness at the top)
ALD delivers a conformal layer deposition process into TSV but is not
economically viable due to very low deposition rate
F.A.S.T. unique value
FAST is the only solution to deliver highly conformal thick layer into TSV with A/R
> 10:1
FAST is working for both Via Last and Via middle integration scheme (150˚C &
350˚C)
