What it is

The SUSS MicroTec MJB-3 is a mask aligner used for photolithographic patterning.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

In mask alignment lithography, a masked pattern is aligned to the substrate and exposed to light so the resist can be selectively changed. The exposure step is followed by downstream resist processing to leave the desired pattern on the wafer or other substrate.

Where it fits in the process flow

The equipment is grouped with other lithography tools in a nanofabrication tool list and is used for optical exposure work in a cleanroom fabrication environment.[2]

Applications

The MJB-3 is used for photolithographic patterning in device and microstructure fabrication.[1]
