EV Group mask aligner selected for organic electronics advanced research facility

March 12, 2008 — EV Group (EVG), a supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology, and semiconductor markets, announced that Austrian technology-research company NanoTecCenter Weiz Forschungsgesellschaft mbH (NTC Weiz) has purchased an EVG620 precision alignment system for installation in its new R&D facility focused on organic/plastic electronics. NTC Weiz will use the EVG620 system to align and expose coated organic substrates for advanced applications.

According to Professor Emil List, scientific managing director at NTC Weiz, “Our new R&D cleanroom will be focused on next-generation organic semiconductor technology&#8212one of the fastest-growing areas of the electronics industry, and one with the greatest potential for yielding paradigm-shifting products. To ensure the highest-quality results, we need state-of-the-art equipment for this new line.”

Its high throughput, tool flexibility, and modular design have made the EVG620 one of EV Group’s most popular mask aligners, with a significant number of installations at customer sites around the world. The precision alignment system also allows for imprint processes with stamps and substrates from small chip-size pieces to 6-inch (150mm) wafers. EVG’s proprietary chuck design, which supports both soft and hard stamps, provides uniform contact force for high-yield, large-area printing. Configurations for nanotechnology applications can include release mechanisms for stamps in addition to programmable high- and low-contact force as well as in-situ fine alignment.
