A mask moves during (UV) radiation and controls the energy incident on the photoresist surface, thereby enabling fabrication of 3D microstructures with arbitrary curve or slope.

Main feature

  • Our original mirror & lens optical system realizes uniform radiation covering the full exposure area.
  • Equipped with gap sensors for non-contact gap making with a good in-plane uniformity, and an alignment system composed of microscopes and a XYθstage for aligning the existing layer(s) on a substrate to a mask pattern.
  • In the “Moving UV mask” method (in which a piezo stage micropositions a mask during exposure), the thick resist’s sidewall slope angle is controllable, thereby fabricating 3D microstructures is possible.
