WaveEtch™ thinning performance
It is now possible to thin semiconductor wafers automatically and cost effectively with MATECH’s WaveEtch™ LinearScan™ Processor. Substrates up to 12” can be thinned down to 10µm with typical TTV of 2% or less. The WaveEtch system allows reliable dry-in-dry-out, fully automated wet etching of thin substrates.

Silicon, InP, GaAs, as well as most semiconductor wafers can be safely handled and thinned down automatically with the WaveEtch™ system. MATECH’s patented LinearScan™ technology makes it possible to etch substrates precisely and accurately, while the system’s robotics gently handle the fragile wafers in and out of their cassettes or flat-packs throughout the process.

The WaveEtch™ system incorporates an advanced chemical handling subsystem capable of metering, mixing, recirculating, recycling, and managing multi-component solutions from bottles or bulk delivery systems.

The WaveEtch™ is also friendly to the environment. In virtually all processes, it uses a fraction of the chemicals that would be consumed by conventional spin, spray or wet bench technologies.
