Takachi ICP
The Takachi is a robust ICP technology based on Plasma-Therm’s proven Shuttlelock® platform now available in a much smaller footprint. The reliable hardware, ease of operation, and low cost make the Takachi ideal for a wide range of uniform, high quality ICP etch applications serving R&D, FA, prototyping, pilot line and low volume production. Backed by Plasma-Therm’s VLSIresearch's award winning service organization, the Takachi ICP will be the most reliable and ‘always available’ tool on the floor.
