They are thereforeexerting substantial influence across the semiconductor industry. Applications for pressure sensors,weight sensors, micro mirrors, and multiple otherdevices are moving into the third dimension, havingtopography steps with several microns up to 600 µmand more.Coating over Severe TopographyFor coating of such extreme topographies conventional spin coating demonstrates inherent problemsthat are generated by gravity, flow and surface tension effects, which make it impossible to reliablycover steep sidewalls and sharp topography edges.2Bumps for wafer level packagingPiezo motor for MEMS applicationsSource: IMT NeuchatelThe AltaSpray coating technology from SUSS successfully overcomes the limitations of topographycoating.
SUSS AltaSpray is capable of depositinghigh resolution resist films on different 3-D microstructures, while being able to deliver consistentconformal coatings on various structures such as90° corners, KOH etched cavities, V-grooves orlenses.Lenses for MOEMSLithographySpray Coating at its BestThe SUSS’ patent pending AltaSpray approachdelivers consistent conformal coatings overvarious structures having a sidewall slope from0 to 90° and even more.Test structure with a great diversity in the structureorientation and a topography variation of 200 µm.Achieved with 3 µm TOK-PMER-P GH 300M positiveresist.MEMS sensor with a topography variation of 200 µm.Achieved with AZ9260 from AZ Electronic Materials.Source: CIS, ErfurtMEMS sensor with a negative slope on a KOHetched Silicon wafer.

The resist tends to flow downthe steep side and breaks the resist film at the edge. The abovemicroscope image demonstratesexcellent coverage of a 90° step.Even BCB 3022-46, a material designed for planarization, can besprayed. It was possible to fullycover the above structure with a54,7° angle. The top of the waferwas still covered by oxide whilethe surface of the slope was Si.In some MEMS applications it isnecessary to pass metal linesthrough V-grooves. Therefore aconformal coating is important.The above microscope imageshows the coverage of a V-groovein an overview and in a cutout.Shipley 1818 on GlassShipley 1818 on KOH etched SiO2Thin resist layer on non-planar surface profiles for MEMS and MOEMSapplications.

The material flows down theside wall, where it tends to fill upthe corner and forms a meniscus.Those areas which accumulatephotosensitive material are difficultto expose and to etch. The thickness variation in the microscopeimage above is so small, that theexposure of the resist causes noproblems.AZ ElectronicMaterialsAZ 1500, AZ 4000,AZ 9000, AZ 520DRohm and HaasShipley 1818,1813, SJR 5740TOKPMER-P, TELR-NDow ChemicalBCB 3000 / 4000AsahiCytop CTL 107 MDow CorningSiliconeALLRESISTe-beam PMMAArch ChemicalsDurimide 7020SUSS AltaSpray is capable of handlingalmost every type of resist.

Тип файла PDF
PDF-формат наиболее широко используется для просмотра любого типа файлов на любом устройстве. В него можно сохранить документ, таблицы, презентацию, текст, чертежи, вычисления, графики и всё остальное, что можно показать на экране любого устройства. Именно его лучше всего использовать для печати.
Например, если Вам нужно распечатать чертёж из автокада, Вы сохраните чертёж на флешку, но будет ли автокад в пункте печати? А если будет, то нужная версия с нужными библиотеками? Именно для этого и нужен формат PDF - в нём точно будет показано верно вне зависимости от того, в какой программе создали PDF-файл и есть ли нужная программа для его просмотра.
