The new Capstone® CS200 series is the next-generation CMP processing tool from Axus Technology offering the best-in-market performance for 100, 150, and 200mm wafer sizes. The state-of-the-art system architecture includes a superior load-polish-unload sequence for high throughput process capability and reduced system footprint. Capstone® provides more efficient application and utilization of slurry, providing 40-50% reduction in slurry consumption. The unique pad conditioning system also provides up to double the pad life of other CMP tools. The Capstone® CS200 series brings significant reduction in CoO, substantially reducing overall CMP process costs.
