ASM (ASMIY) launched its XP8® Vertos™ Flowable Carbon, described as the market's first PECVD flowable carbon film for semiconductor manufacturing.
The technology combines gap fill and planarization in a single PECVD process, aiming to reduce process complexity, improve topography control, and support 3D scaling in both logic and memory devices. Vertos™ Flowable Carbon is designed to fill complex high-aspect-ratio features without voids or seams and to self-planarize across the wafer. Operating in an all-in-one PECVD system, it removes the need for downstream CMP or etch-back steps, which is expected to lower cost and defect risk. ASM highlights improved planarization over varied pattern densities, higher thermal stability, and area-selective deposition as key properties.
