Photolithography Filters<br />
i-line Optical Filters<br />
Omega Optical's new generation i-line <strong>filters</strong> feature greatly<br />
improved i-line intensity delivered to the resist, surpassing<br />
the standard OEM <strong>filters</strong>. Filters are qualified to the highest<br />
manufacturing standards, characterized photometrically and<br />
are packaged in a nitrogen-purged ESD bag.<br />
These products are designed for litho tools in the<br />
photolithography process such as LSI and LCD Steppers<br />
with high power Mercury Lamps. This high performance filter<br />
resolves monochromatic wavelengths reaching the photomask<br />
substrate so that optimum resolution is achievable. These<br />
<strong>filters</strong> effectively transmit the five lines of the fine structure<br />
of the Mercury i-line with bandwidth, center wavelength, and<br />
filter construction designed to allow maximum throughput and<br />
filter life.<br />
We offer custom engineered <strong>filters</strong> as well as standard i-line<br />
<strong>filters</strong>.<br />
Features<br />
Photometric Performance<br />
Our i-line <strong>filters</strong> are thoroughly characterized photometrically.<br />
The bandpass transmission is evaluated along four radii at<br />
half inch intervals (125 & 165mm diameter product) using<br />
a research-grade spectrophotometer. A filter with uniform<br />
bandpass characteristics across the entire surface yields the<br />
greatest intensity delivered to the resist. Our <strong>filters</strong> typically<br />
exceed intensity levels offered by OEM replacement <strong>filters</strong> by<br />
10-20%.<br />
Photolithography Mask Aligner Filters<br />
In addition, we offer mask aligner <strong>optical</strong> <strong>filters</strong> that provide<br />
improved exposures and sharper, straighter feature walls of<br />
the SU-8 photoresist. This filter provides a nominal cut-on<br />
wavelength of 360nm, blocking shorter wavelengths and<br />
transmitting the longer wavelengths including the useful 365,<br />
405 & 436nm mercury lines. It is 90% transparent to visible<br />
light (or provides 90% transmission), allowing for proper<br />
visualization of mask alignment through the filter glass.<br />
These <strong>filters</strong> are manufactured using durable coatings<br />
deposited via dual magnetron reactive sputtering to assure<br />
stability i-line over Filters time and varying environmental conditions.<br />
