Photomask Aligner

Using the machine

Exposure machine introduction

In semiconductor manufacturing process, the coating photoresist is used for the production of the photoresist, which is used in the production of the semiconductor. In the semiconductor process, after coating photoresist, the chip has to be exposed to UV light to develop, this exposure machine is OAI200 series, integrating photomask alignment, UV light exposure development, UV light measurement device and photomask clamping device.

The OAI200 series is an entry-level photomask aligner that can be manually operated to change various parameters, such as exposure time, exposure intensity, and exposure power. The OAI200 series is an entry-level photomask aligner that can be manually operated to change various parameters, such as exposure time, exposure intensity, and exposure power, etc. It has a very good effect on the development of medium and high line widths, and can be used with up to a four-inch chip with a maximum exposure power of 1KW.

Steps for Using the Exposure Machine

1. Check the nitrogen cylinders 〈AIR 60psi〉, 〈N220psi〉, and the nitrogen valves of the yellow room, and the air valves, to see if the air valves are open. Turn on the red master switch of the extension cable below the exposure machine, and then turn on the exposure machine and microscope.

2. Connect the power supply of the tunnel-type air extraction motor, carry out the steps of air extraction of the exposure machine, and check whether the air inlet behind the mercury lamp holder on the top of the exposure machine has air intake. If there is little or no air inlet, the power to the mercury lamp will not be turned on (an alarm will sound). Make sure there is air in the air inlet before turning on the mercury lamp power supply ON/OFF switch below the exposure machine.

3. Press and hold the START button of the mercury lamp power supply for about 1~3 seconds, at this time, the current value will rise 〈representing the mercury lamp is lit, and start to consume the current〉, and then release the button immediately, and the mercury lamp will be lit.

4. After the mercury lamp is lit, at least 30 minutes of standby time is required to stabilize the Lightsource system. If the mercury lamp does not light up, do not perform any maintenance.

5. After the system is stabilized, fill in the voltage and current values of the power supply into the record table, and every time you turn on the lamp, it should be registered as a record.

6. Unscrew the screws of the light cover fixture, the front of the light cover (chrome-plated surface) facing down, aligned with the three datums, press the MASKVAC key, so that the vacuum suction light cover, and then lock the screws to fix the light cover.

Note:

* MASK Holder must be lowered to place the mask.

* Blow the mask and MASK Holder with nitrogen first, with the mask facing down, aligned with the black iron frame, keep your hands away from the mask, depress the MASKVAC. key to make the vacuum suck the mask, and lock the two black iron edges next to it.

* Check whether the round base CHUNK where the chip is placed is lower than the photomask to prevent the photomask from crushing the chip.

7. Toggle the MASK FRAME UP/DOWN key to make the MASKHolder rise, place the chip on the CHUNK, toggle the SUB VAC. key to ON to make the vacuum suck the chip, and toggle the MASK FRAMEUP/DOWN key to make the MASK Holder drop.

8. Trigger the Table Edge Knob (Ball LockButton) to Unlock, slowly rotate the Rotary Knob (Z knob) in clockwise direction so that the Chip Base rises up until the Drive Belt feels like it has been pulled taut, then rotate the ZKnob counterclockwise for about 15 frames and trigger the Table Edge Knob (Ball Lock Button) to Lock.

Note:

This is the first time that the MASK Holder has been used in a vacuum system, so that the MASK Holder will be put down. >Note:

* Z knob is about 15 microns per frame.

* Turning the Zknob counterclockwise will cause the chip base to drop down, the purpose of which is to align the chip with the mask, so that the chip and the mask do not rub against each other directly.

* If alignment is not necessary, you can rotate the Z knob without using the counterclockwise direction.

* When rotating the Zknob, no matter clockwise or counterclockwise, when the belt slips, it means that the chip base is already in contact with the mask, and you should not rotate it counterclockwise, which could result in the internal bolts coming loose.

* CHUNK ¨ Z ¨ ADJUST is generally between 15A~20 A, and the smaller the current, the looser the belt.

9. Move the microscope holder to the top of the photomask to align the chip with the photomask. If you need to adjust the position of the chip, you can use the fine-tuning lever next to the chip base to correct the X, Y and θ of the chip base.

The measured unit is mw/cm2, multiplied by the time (SEC) that can be changed to the unit of mJ.

11. Set the exposure seconds, you can carry out the exposure program. Trigger CONTACT VAC. to ON and N2 PURGE to ON, then a slight vacuum will be generated between the chip and the photomask.

Note:

*CONTACT VAC ADJUST is generally in the range of about red-25kpa.

12. Press and hold the button on the handle, then the base can be moved to the bottom of the left end of the exposure machine, release the button, then the exposure machine will automatically carry out the exposure action.

13. When exposure is complete, the base can be moved back to the right end of the exposure unit. The N2 PURGE trigger is OFF, and then the CONTACTVAC trigger is OFF, the instrument will be filled with nitrogen to break the vacuum between the photomask and the chip, making it easier for the user to take out the chip.

14. Rotate the Z knob counterclockwise and lower the chip base to the lowest point. Loosen the black edge iron frame fixed by the photomask, pull up the MASK VAC. knob to break the vacuum of MASKHolder, and the photomask can be taken out.

15. Trigger the MASK FRAME UP/DOWN to UP to raise the MASK Holder. Trigger SUBVAC. to OFF, use the Chip Clip to remove the chip, and trigger MASK FRAME UP/DOWN to DOWN again.

16. Repeat the above steps if you need to make another exposure.

Oxidation Furnace Tube

Operating Methods

Oxidation Furnace Tube Introduction

The oxidation furnace tube used in this lab is the Lenton LTF1200 Horizontal Tubular Furnace, which can be used to put 2-inch silicon wafers, and the heating zone is larger than 50cm, with a maximum temperature of up to 1,200°C and can be used continuously for 24hrs, with a max. operating temperature of 1,150°C. The temperature control is based on PID. C, temperature control method using PID microcomputer automatic temperature controller.

Purpose

After exposing the silicon chip to a high temperature and oxygenated environment for a period of time, we can grow a layer of insulator-SiO2 on the surface of the silicon chip with good adhesion to the silicon, and the electrical properties in line with our requirements.

Attention:

*Before turning on the oxidizing furnace, you must make sure that HEATSwitch is set to the O-off state. When power is supplied, the switch will light up and the oxidizer will start to heat up.

*If the over-temperature protection is good, make sure the alarm point is set appropriately for the current use. If the over-temperature protection is good, the buzzer will sound and there is a consistent program of alarms in the over-temperature control operation.

* In order to improve the collision of heat from the quartz glass tubes or bushings, the heating rate should not exceed a maximum of 3°C per minute.

* In order to minimize heat loss, proper operating procedures must be determined, and the quartz glass tubes can be sealed by the proper use of insulating pins and radiant shields.

* Do not shut down the oxidizer at maximum temperature when operating the oxidizer to extend the life of the oxidizer.
