Why Scanning Projection?

Tamarack's scanning projection technique for large area lithography has fundamental advantages over other exposure methods.

Compared to conventional contact, proximity, and projection exposure systems, this method avoids problems of mask damage, mask and substrate contamination, and maintaining gap, distortion and exposure uniformity over large areas. There is also no need to match adjacent patterns, thus eliminating stitching errors.

It is ideal for photolithographic steps down to 4 micron resolution. Fully compatible with large area steppers, it provides mix-and-match capabilities with substantially lower overall equipment cost.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Patented intermediate resolution broadband catadioptric lens with 1:1 magnification resolves features down to 4 um.
  • Uniform exposure over very large areas maintains accurate imaging
  • Large depth of focus to allow use of thick photoresist and non-planarized substrates
  • UV line selection and variable numerical aperture (NA) for process optimization
  • High irradiance at the substrate plane for improved throughput & image quality.
  • Vertical positioning of Mask and substrate to minimize contamination and mask sag due to gravity.
