The photolithography setup is composed by a Karl Süss MA6 mask aligner, able to reach a resolution down to 1 μm, and a SUSS MicroTec LabSpin spin coater, maximum speed 5000 rpm. The setup is mounted in a clean room to improve the cleanliness of lithography process. The MA6 mask aligner is ideal for use with I-line (365 nm) resists. It is possible to use both positive and negative photoresist, with thickness up to 30 μm.

  • Mask alignment with 3 different microscope objectives (5x, 10x, 20x)

AVAILABLE TECHNIQUES

  • Photolithography
  • Spin coating
 

SAMPLES

  • Maximum dimension allowed: 3-inch diameter

 

USE FOR

  • Preparation of contacts, pad, interdigitate structures

 
 

CASE STUDIES

Lithographic pattern for contacts
 
In this case, the lithography has been used to fabricate a metallic contact, arranged as two pads and a central interdigitated region.

Other geometrical patterns
 
Photolithography can also be used for specific patterns as in this case, where Au columns have been grown on a GaAs substrate.
