Market Definition
Spin-on carbon (SoC) hard masks are an increasingly key component of the microchip fabrication process. They are used to improve the resists’ selectivity to silicon during plasma etching, and as chip architectures become increasingly complex, they are increasingly used to improve the aspect ratio of features in silicon. Spin-on carbon is used for various purposes in semiconductor fabrication. Spin-on carbon can also serve as an insulating layer or as a planarizing agent to ensure the flatness of the wafer surface.
Overall, spin-on carbon plays a crucial role in the development and production of semiconductor devices, enabling the creation of intricate patterns and structures on the wafer surface during the various stages of the manufacturing process. Its use is vital for the production of smaller and more complex semiconductor components that are integral to the advancement of modern electronics.
