What it is

The OAI Model 800 Mask Aligner is a semi-automated optical mask aligner for lithography.[1]

The OAI 808 Aligner is a front-side and backside aligner with four cameras, motorized backside focus, motorized auto leveling, and auto gap setting.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Mask aligners place a patterned mask in close relation to a coated substrate and expose the substrate through the mask with ultraviolet light to transfer the pattern.

Mask aligners are used in contact, soft contact, proximity, and gap-based exposure modes, with alignment performed to position top-side or backside features before exposure.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Mask alignment and exposure occur in the lithography portion of microfabrication before downstream pattern transfer steps such as etching or deposition removal.
