THE LATEST AND BEST Ravi.K.Reddy-Fab Course1
Post Exposure Bake • Sometimes the Chemical Amplification is improved by PEB. • SU-8 forms cross linking here. • Data Sheets of the Resists define what temperature Ravi.K.Reddy-Fab Course1
Developing the PR • Use developers provided by the company Ravi.K.Reddy-Fab Course1
Hard Bake • To have better Etch resistance. • Required for process steps like Etch • Little bad for profiles of the resist • Reflow of the resist occurs Ravi.K.Reddy-Fab Course1
Photo resist removal • Positive Resists • Acetone • Trichloroethylene (TCE) • Negative Resits • Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) • Methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) Ravi.K.Reddy-Fab Course1
Challenges • Complex Multidimensional Phase Space • Careful Optimization and tight process control Ravi.K.Reddy-Fab Course1
Some Facts • Litho accounts to 1/3 of the entire cost • Close to 30 Masks used in each process. • Process Steps >250 • New Masks- Cost $3M • CD determines the cost of the mask • NGL >$50 per stepper Ravi.K.Reddy-Fab Course1
Experiment • Both Positive and Negative PR used. • Understand the process better-I hope. THANK YOU Ravi.K.Reddy-Fab Course1
