During exposure of the resist, the photoinitiator, or photo-active component, reacts with the exposure light, and starts the reaction that makes the resist develop in the developer. In a positive resist, it makes the resist become soluble in the developer. In a negative resist, usually assisted by thermal energy in the post-exposure bake, it makes the resist insoluble in the developer. The amount of light required to fully develop the resist in the development process, is the exposure dose.

The optimal exposure dose is a function of many parameters, including the type of resist, the resist thickness, and the sensitivity of the resist.
The optimal exposure dose is a function of many parameters, including the type of resist, the resist thickness, and the sensitivity of the resist.


The resist sensitivity is a measure of how efficiently it reacts to the exposure light. Spectral sensitivity is the sensitivity of the resist as a function of wavelength. It is usually given simply as the range from the wavelength below which absorption in the resist material makes lithography impractical to the wavelength at which the photoinitiator is no longer efficiently activated. The spectral sensitivity is listed in the [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/UVLithography#Resist_Overview|Resist Overview]]. Within this range, the optical absorption is commonly used as a measure of sensitivity. A high absorption coefficient signifies a high sensitivity, as the light is absorbed by the photoinitiator. Because of spectral sensitivity, the optimal dose of a given resist type and thickness is also a function of the spectral distribution of the exposure light, i.e. the equipment used for the exposure, see table below. Made using a combination of experience, calculation, and assumption, the values given in the [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/UVExposure_Dose#Comparison:_Relative_exposure_dose|Relative exposure dose]] table may be used to estimate the dose for one equipment from the known dose on another equipment.

Using a combination of experience, calculation, and assumption, one may be able to estimate the dose for one equipment from the known dose on another equipment.


Due to reflection and refraction at the interface between the resist and the substrate, the optimal dose may also be a function of the type of substrate used. Unless otherwise stated, the exposure doses given here are for standard silicon wafers.

The most powerful UV lines in the Hg spectrum are the i-, h-, and g-lines at 356 nm, 405 nm, and 435 nm wavelength, respectively. While the Hg lamp produces little or no intensity in the deep-UV (UV-C) range, the Hg-Xe lamp has increased output below 300 nm.

==Calculating exposure time==
==Calculating exposure time==
In the maskless aligners, the dose is set directly as a process parameter in the job. In mask aligners, on the other hand, the parameter that is set is the exposure time, i.e. how long the shutter is open during the exposure.
The exposure dose, ''D'' [J/m<sup>2</sup>], is given by:
The exposure dose, ''D'' [J/m<sup>2</sup>], is given by:


Line 84: Line 117:
where ''I'' [W/m<sup>2</sup>] is the intensity of the exposure light, and ''t'' [s] is the exposure time. As the intensity is specific to the spectral sensitivity of the sensor used to measure the exposure light, and the exposure time is specific to the spectral distribution of the exposure light (cf. spectral sensitivity), this dose is specific to the combination of exposure source and optical sensor.

Given the optimum exposure dose, the exposure time is calculated as:
Given an exposure dose, the exposure time is calculated as:


''' ''t'' = ''D'' / ''I'' '''.
''' ''t'' = ''D'' / ''I'' '''.


It is important to keep in mind that this exposure time is valid only for a specific combination of exposure source and optical sensor, as well as for a specific development process.

'''Additional information:'''
==Aligner: MA6 - 2==
 
The Aligner: MA6-2 has an i-line notch filter installed. This results in an exposure light peak around 365 nm with a FWHM of 7 nm. Unless otherwise stated, the exposure doses given here are for standard silicon wafers.
'''AZ 5214E image reversal'''
*1.5 µm resist on boron glass: around 49 mJ/cm<sup>2</sup> (supplied March 2013 by Morten Bo Lindholm Mikkelsen, DTU Nanotech).
 
==Aligner-6inch (351B)==
 
The Aligner-6inch has a long pass filter designed for SU-8 exposure installed. The SU-8 filter has no transmission in the 250-330 nm range, and close to full transmission in the 400-500 nm range. In the 350-370 nm range, the transmission is approximately 0.5. This results in a broadband exposure light consisting of the i-line (365 nm), the h-line (405 nm), and the g-line (435 nm) from the Hg spectrum. Dependent on the spectral sensitivity of the resist, the optimal dose may be decreased compared to i-line exposure on the KS-Aligner. Unless otherwise stated, the exposure doses given here are for standard silicon wafers.

===Aligner: Maskless 01===


''Not all thicknesses tested yet. Use [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/UVExposure_Dose#Comparison:_Relative_exposure_dose|Relative exposure dose]] table to estimate dose.''
Aligner: Maskless 01 uses a 365nm LED source. The exposure dose needed seems to follow the dose needed to process the same substrate in [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/UVExposure_Dose#Aligner:_MA6_-_2|Aligner: MA6-2]]. As doses get higher, there is a tendency for the dose needed in the Aligner: Maskless 01 to exceed the dose needed in Aligner: MA6-2.

==Aligner-6inch (726)==
'''Additional information:'''


The Aligner-6inch has a long pass filter designed for SU-8 exposure installed. The SU-8 filter has no transmission in the 250-330 nm range, and close to full transmission in the 400-500 nm range. In the 350-370 nm range, the transmission is approximately 0.5. This results in a broadband exposure light consisting of the i-line (365 nm), the h-line (405 nm), and the g-line (435 nm) from the Hg spectrum. Dependent on the spectral sensitivity of the resist, the optimal dose may be decreased compared to i-line exposure on the KS-Aligner. Unless otherwise stated, the exposure doses given here are for standard silicon wafers.
