There are four different types of lithography available at DTU Nanolab:


Comparing lithography methods at DTU Nanolab

UV Lithography DUV Stepper Lithography E-beam Lithography Nano Imprint Lithography
Generel description Pattern transfer via ultraviolet (UV) light Pattern transfer via deep ultraviolet (DUV) light Patterning by electron beam Pattern transfer via hot embossing (HE)
Pattern size range

~0.6 µm and up
(resist type, thickness, and pattern dependent)

~200 nm and up
(pattern type, shape and pitch dependent)

~12 nm - 1 µm
(and larger at high currents)

~20 nm and up

Resist type

UV sensitive:

  • AZ 5214E, AZ 4562, AZ MiR 701 (positive)
  • AZ 5214E, AZ nLOF 2020, SU-8 (negative)

DUV sensitive

  • JSR KRF M230Y, JSR KRF M35G (positive)
  • UVN2300-0.8 (negative)

E-beam sensitive

  • AR-P6200 CSAR, ZEP502A , PMMA (positive)
  • HSQ, mr-EBL, AR-N 7520 (negative)

Imprint polymers:

  • Topas

  • mr-I 7030R
Resist thickness range

~0.5 µm to 200 µm

~50 nm to 2 µm

~30 nm to 1 µm

~ 100 nm to 2 µm

Typical exposure time

10 s - 3 min pr. wafer using mask aligners
10 min - 5 hours pr. wafer using maskless aligners

Process dependent:

  • Pattern
  • Pattern area
  • Dose

Throughput is up to 60 wafers/hour

Process dependent:

  • Dose, Q [µC/cm2]
  • Beam current, I [A]
  • Pattern area, a [cm2]

time [s] = Q*a/I

Process dependent, including heating/cooling rates

Substrate size
  • chips down to 3 mm x 3 mm

  • 6 wafers of 50 mm in size
  • 3 wafers of 100 mm in size
  • 1 wafer of 150 mm in size
  • 1 wafer of 200 mm in size

Only one cassette can be loaded at a time

  • small samples

Lithography Tool Package Training

DTU Nanolab offers a Tool Package Training in Lithography; the course includes theory on lithographic processes and equipment. After the TPT has been successfully completed, you can begin training on the lithography equipment at DTU Nanolab.

You are required to pass this course, in order to get access to using the lithography equipment inside the DTU Nanolab fabrication facility (The Cleanroom).


For details, dates, and course material, please check the course description under Courses.


Lithography Tool Package Training
