MIMENTO technology center has two rooms dedicated to chemistry where six main functions are performed:
- Surface cleaning: acid, base and solvent
- Surface preparation: essentially based on piranha
These two steps of cleaning and preparation are fundamental in the success of a process, because bad cleaning or bad surface preparation can lead to defects in the final results.
- Resist stripping for lift off process
- Wet etching: possibility to etch metals (Al, Ti, Cu, Cr, Ni, Au…) with selective etchants or dielectric as SiO2 with BHF solution
- Si patterns machining with KOH solution
- Electroplating of Ni, Cu or Au
Stirrers, hot plates and ultrasonic tanks complete the wet benches of these two chemistry rooms.
