Australian Centre for Precision Optics
Microlithography
Microlithography optics are used in the production of
microchips and boards which require extremely fine yet accurate
etchings. An ultraviolet light source is directed onto a
wafer via microlithography stepper systems to etch images
onto the surface. A wafer stepper objective may contain
two prisms and one lens. The material typically used is
calcium fluoride which has an infamous reputation of being
a difficult material to work with. |
