Charles the more energy you can impart in to the substrate the better the resolution and sidewall configuration , especially when working with Photovias. ( time is no substitute for intensity). I recommend an 8KW minimum unit or one with as high a wattage at the work as possible. Determination of actual values is dependent on the meter used so If I gave you a number I will not correlate to your radiometer. Don't be afraid of a chilled unit , control of the frame temperature will give you more repeatable results. Lastly you are probably caught in the Collimation -Non Collimation debate. Remember the finer the feature you can resolve the finer the Particle you also resolve. so high resolution goes with particulate free atmosphere and substrates. Send me your Address and I can send you some more information russell.smith @ cibasc.com ---------- From: Charles Busa To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Exposure units ? Date: Wednesday, March 18, 1998 9:55PM We are setting up a R & D facility which will be involved in MCM-L fabrication and chip scale packaging techniques. Our immediate concern is an Exposure unit capable of doing .003" lines/spaces in resists .001 - .0015" thk., and also capable of exposing .004" dia. vias in a photodefined dielectric. I would appreciate any recommendations regarding equipment specifications and processing tips. NOTE: Speed of processing is not a requirement and I would like to stay away from the high power(7/8 kw) units that require chillers or some additional cooling scheme.
