Aligner: MA6-1

The Aligner: MA6-1 is located in PolyFabLab.

SUSS Mask Aligner MA6 is designed for high resolution photolithography. 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. 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.


Training videos:
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.

Operation

Alignment

The user manual(s), quality control procedure(s) and results, and contact information can be found in LabManager - requires login

Exposure dose

Information on UV exposure dose

Process information

The Aligner: MA6-1 has an i-line notch filter installed. This results in an exposure light peak around 365nm with a FWHM of 7nm.
