About

The MLA150 allows for arbitrary direct patterning of I-Line photoresists, directly from a CAD drawing/file, with alignment to arbitrary features on the sample. The system uses a digital micromirror device ("DMD", an array of MEMS mirrors) for patterning the exposure light-field, to programmatically expose digitized patterns directly onto the sample - no glass photomasks/reticles are required.

The system has a continuous, automatic autofocus, using either a pneumatic or optical detection. This enables lithography on non-planar or curved substrates. We also have the high-aspect ratio (variable/long focal length) option installed for very thick (~70µm) photoresists.

Depending on the exposure options and write area, MLA is able to expose a 100mm wafer in about 30min, and achieves minimum features sizes around 0.5µm, with overlay/alignment accuracy better than 200nm.

Lastly, the greyscale lithography is possible, producing repeatable, slanted or tapered structures in photoresist or photo-active dielectrics like SU-8.
