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 equipment, 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, and is a prerequisite for training in other lithography equipment.


Lithography Tool Package Training
Schedule

Theoretical part

  • The lecture has been replaced by videos that can be viewed at one's own leisure.
  • A 1 hour "questions and exercises" session once or twice a month will be planned as needed.
  • NEXT "questions and exercises" sessions: Monday 6th of February 13:00-14:00, Friday 10th of February 10:00-11:00

Practical part

  • A 4-5 hour training session once a week, max. 4 persons per session (9:00 - 14:00).
  • NEXT training sessions: 8th of February, 15th of February, 22nd of February
Location

Theoretical part

  • The location of the "questions and exercises" session will be specified after signing up for the course.

Practical part

  • The training session takes place inside the cleanroom. The meeting point will be in front of the first machine.
Qualified Prerequisites
  • Cleanroom safety course at DTU Danchip
  • Admission to the cleanroom must be obtained before the training session
Preparations

Before the "questions and exercises" session

  • Read Sami Franssila "Introduction to Microfabrication" (2010), Chapter 9: Optical Lithography. (Available online from DTU campus)
  • Watch the lecture videos (7 videos, 2:41 hours in total). Write down any questions that may arise during the videos.

Before training session

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

Links to literature, lecture videos, training videos, equipment manuals, and process flows can be found in the "Knowledge and Information" section below.

Course Responsible

The Lithography Group at DTU Danchip.

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
