Slides presented at NNUM in Uppsala 2026: [[Media:MA6 vs MLA 2026 v09.pdf|'''MA6 vs MLA 2026_v09''']]
In the first half of 2026, a rather thorough investigation of the differences between exposure using mask aligner and maskless aligner was conducted. The result was presented as an advanced lithography tutorial at the 2026 Nordic Nanolab User Meeting in Uppsala, Sweden.
