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.

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.
