Raith
ebeam lithography system upgraded, now faster
 CNS
recently completed an upgrade to our workhorse Raith 150 ebeam lithography
system. This upgrade included the
installation of a new pattern generator, control computer, and operating software. These changes allow roughly a doubling in the
writing speed. "Most users will see a
significant improvement in speed and ease of use" says ebeam specialist Yuan
Lu. The Raith's laser stitching
capability allows writing of 4 inch
wafers, and with the recent upgrade stage motion speed has been
significantly improved. Experimentalists
waiting for available ebeam time should also note that the Raith system is a much-less-heavily scheduled alternative to our
Elionix. Contact Yuan Lu for information and to schedule training. |
