SUSS Mask Aligner MA6 is designed for high resolution photolithography.
'''Tool description'''<br>
The 365nm exposure wavelength version is capable of 1.25 (1.0) um resolution in vacuum contact. All contact exposure programs (vacuum, hard, soft, proximity) are supplied.
The Aligner: MA6-1 is a manual UV exposure system, which can be used for mask alignment and exposure of UV resists on 100 mm substrates. It is also capable of flood exposing chips, 50 mm and 150 mm substrates.
Two alignment options are available: top side alignment (TSA) with a split field or a video microscope and back side alignment (BSA) with BSA microscope. It is also possible to make IR- light alignment.

Aligner: MA6-1

The Aligner: MA6-1 is located in PolyFabLab.

Tool description
The Aligner: MA6-1 is a manual UV exposure system, which can be used for mask alignment and exposure of UV resists on 100 mm substrates. It is also capable of flood exposing chips, 50 mm and 150 mm substrates.

Product: Süss mask aligner MA6
Year of purchase: 1999
Location: PolyFabLab

User manual
The user manual and contact information can be found in LabManager - requires login

Tool training
Training on the tool requires users to complete the lithography TPT followed by reading the manual and watching the training videos. The tool authorization can be obtained after a successful hands-on authorization training session.

The training videos were made for MA6-2, but operation of MA6-1 is very similar as they are exactly the same model. Due to a different power supply, however, procedures for ignition and intensity control of the lamp is different for MA6-1. Please refer to the manual for the correct procedures.
