Specific Process Knowledge/Lithography/UVLithography

UV Lithography uses ultraviolet light to transfer a pattern from a mask to a wafer coated with photoresist. The photoresist film is spin coated on the wafers and the pattern is transferred to the wafer by using a mask aligner. DTU Danchip houses a number of automatic or semi-automatic coaters and mask aligners.
