The OAI Model 2012 is a UV exposure system. The OAI Model 2012 is grouped with other OAI exposure systems in the UV Exposure Systems datasheet section.[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe OAI Model 2012 is a UV exposure system designed for photolithographic processes. UV exposure systems are a class of equipment used to transfer patterns from a photomask onto a photoresist-coated substrate. The Model 2012 is part of the product line offered by Optical Associates, Inc. (OAI), a manufacturer of lithography and UV measurement equipment.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedUV exposure systems generally operate by projecting ultraviolet light through a photomask onto a substrate coated with a photosensitive material. The exposure causes a chemical change in the photoresist, allowing subsequent development steps to reveal the pattern. The OAI Model 2012 uses a controlled UV light source to achieve uniform exposure across the substrate.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn semiconductor and microdevice fabrication, UV exposure systems are used in the photolithography step to define circuit features. The exposure step follows substrate cleaning and photoresist coating, and precedes development, etching, and stripping. The Model 2012 is applied in processes requiring reliable UV exposure for pattern transfer.
