Illustrative representation based on publicly available technical information.
ASM epitaxy is a crystalline film-growth equipment platform covering silicon and silicon-germanium transistor epitaxy and silicon carbide epitaxy. Distinct from ASM atomic layer deposition.
Official epitaxy pages describe silicon, silicon-germanium and phosphorous-doped silicon films used to form strained channel and source/drain regions in advanced transistors, plus selective epitaxy and surface preclean. The same technology area includes silicon carbide epitaxy for high-voltage power-device wafers used in electric vehicles and renewable energy. Named tool series remain capabilities of this epitaxy platform rather than separate listings. Epitaxy is distinct from ASM atomic layer deposition, which is listed separately. Process recipes and tool configurations should be confirmed on ASM’s current epitaxy pages.
