Photolithography for Thick Resists
Thick resist photolithography is an indispensable element of wafer bumping and advanced wafer level packaging in general. Leading systems for these processes are mask aligners and steppers, while for resist coating applications spin and spray coaters dominate.
Mask aligners are 1X full field exposure systems that offer an excellent cost of ownership and ease of use compared to competing stepper technology. All SUSS production aligners can be equipped with the Large Gap Exposure Optics (LGO) optics enabling near vertical sidewalls at highest aspect ratios in resist films up to 100 microns and thicker. In addition SUSS Mask Aligners support SUSS SupraYield, a patented package of technology enhancements, which increases resolution, improves overlay accuracy and boosts wafer yield. SupraYield enables cost effective mask aligner technology to meet even the most demanding performance criteria.
