Mask process and outline

Step Process description Machines Cross-section after process
01
Cross section of a photolithography mask
02 Laser exposure
Heidelberg DWL200, Laser lithography system

The laser beams on the surface of the photoresist. By doing so, it imprints the pattern of the design on the PR.
03 Developing of the mask
DV10 Mask and Thick positive resist developer

A chemical treatment is used to remove the PR that was exposed by the laser in the previous step, creating the ‘holes’ on the photoresist
04 Etching of the chrome
Coillard Gravure

The chrome is removed at the sites where the resist layer is missing, using an acid bath.
05 Removal of Resist
Coillard Photolithographie

Once the chrome is removed at the precise sites (previous step), the rest of the resist is removed from the whole surface.
06 Use of mask
The mask can now be used to expose its pattern on the wafer using UV light

Control Layer Process outline

Step Process description Machines Cross-section after process
01 Substrate: Wafer Clean
Tepla 300

Clean the wafer using plasma treatment
02 Photolith: Resist deposition Photo Resist : Su8 GM1070 – 30μm
Sawatec

A layer of negative photoresist is added on the wafer by spincoating
03 Relaxation time + Softbake
Sawatec

Softbake wafer using Sawatec hotplate, to solidify the photo resist
04 Photolith:UV exposure
Mask Aligner

The UV lights are exposed through the Mask on the surface of the wafer. By doing so, it imprints the pattern of the design on the PR.
05 Post exposure bake
Sawatec

Bake wafer using Sawatec hotplate
06 Relaxation delay Wait 1 hour – overnight
07 Photolith: Develop
Wetbench plane solvent

This removes the unexposed photoresist from the wafer using chemical treatment on a wet bench
08 Hard bake
DataPlate

Bake 135°C 2 hours, using an oven
