Photolithography Processes UV Optical Lithography Stocked Lithography Chemical + Datasheets Lists all stocked photolith. chemicals, PRs, strippers, developers, and links to the chemical's application notes/datasheet, which detail the spin curves and nominal processes. Photo Lithography Recipe section Starting recipes (spin, bake, exposure, develop etc.) for all photolith. tools. Substrate/surface materials/pattern size can affect process parameters. Users may need to run Focus/Exposure Arrays/Matrix (FEA's/FEM's) with these processes to achieve high-resolution.

E-beam Lithography E-Beam Lithography Recipes Has links to starting recipes. Substrates and patterns play a large role in process parameters. EBL Photoresist Datasheets Provided for reference, also showing starting recipes and usage info. Holography For 1-D and 2-D gratings with 220nm nominal period, available on substrates up to 1 inch square. Recipes for silicon substrates are provided, and have been translated to other substrates by users. Nanoimprinting Resists Datasheets are provided with starting recipes and usage info. Recipes provided are for use in the Nano-Imprint (Nanonex NX2000) system only.
Photolithography Chemicals/Materials Underlayers These are used beneath resists for both adhesive purposes and to enable bi-layer lift-off profiles for use with photoresist. Datasheets are provided. Anti-Reflection Coatings: The Photoresist Recipes section contains recipes using these materials. Bottom Anti-Reflection Coatings (BARC) are used in the stepper systems, underneath the resists to eliminate substrate reflections that can affect resolution and repeatability for small, near resolution limited, feature sizes. Datasheets are provided for reference on use of the materials. Contrast Enhancement Materials (CEM) The Photoresist Recipes section contains recipes using these materials. Used for resolution enhancement. Not for use in contact aligners, typically used on I-Line Steppers. Datasheets provided with usage info. Adhesion Promoters These are used to improve wetting of photoresists to your substrate. Datasheets are provided on use of these materials. Low-K Spin-on Dielectrics Spin-On Dielectrics Datasheets for BCB, Photo-BCB, and SOG (spin-on-glass) for reference on use. Low-K Spin-On Dielectric Recipes Recipes for usage of some spin-on dielectrics. Developers and Removers Datasheets provided for reference. Remover and Photoresist Strippers are used to dissolve PR during lift-off or after etching.
