Process depended, depends on pattern, pattern area and dose

Depends on dose, Q [µC/cm2], beam current, I [A], and pattern area, A [cm2]: t = Q*A/I

Process depended, depends also on heating and cooling temperature rates

Lithography Tool Package Training

DTU Danchip offers a Tool Package Training in Lithography; the course includes theory on lithographic processes and equipments, as well as training in equipment operation and processing in the cleanroom.

The course is for all users that intend to perform any kind of lithographic processing in the cleanroom.


Lithography Tool Package Training
Schedule
  • Lecture once a month (~3.5 hours). NEXT LECTURE: Starting February 2017 (Week 06), the lecture will be replaced by videos and a short "questions and exercises" session. More info will come later this month.
  • Training session once a week, max. 4 persons per session (9:00 - 14:00). NEXT SESSIONS: 8th of February, 15th of February, 22nd of February
Location Seminar room bulding 347 at DTU Danchip and in cleanroom facilities at DTU Danchip
Qualified Prerequisites
  • Cleanroom safety course at DTU Danchip
  • Wet Chemistry Course at DTU Danchip (Lab-Intro)
Preparations

Before the lecture

  • Read Sami Franssila "Introduction to Microfabrication" (2010), Chapter 9: Optical Lithography. (Available online from DTU campus, see link below)
  • Optional but recommended: Watch the training videos (training videos can be found below).

Before training session

  • Watch the training videos of spin coating (automatic), exposure (operation and alignment), and development (automatic). The training videos can be found below.
  • Study the equipment manuals. The manuals are available in LabManager.
  • Study the TPT process flows (first print and alignment). The process flows can be found below.
Course Responsible

The Lithography Group at DTU Danchip: sign up for the course by e-mailing to lithography@danchip.dtu.dk.

Learning Objectives
  • Describe fundamental parts of lithographic processing in a cleanroom, design of process flows
  • Authorization to use spin coater, mask aligner, and developer at DTU Danchip
  • Calculate relevant process parameters
  • Analyze and apply your results of lithographic processing
