SOLA is an innovative ultraviolet thermal processing (UVTP) system used for the low-temperature, post-deposition treatment of dielectric films. SOLA is designed for advanced materials such as high stress nitrides and porous low-k dielectrics that are used to deliver increased device speeds and lower power consumption in sub-90 nanometer chips. SOLA employs a high-productivity multi-station sequential treatment (MSST) architecture that achieves a treatment non-uniformity of less than 2%, thereby improving device yields.
