Laser Writer (Microtech LW405 series):
Maskless Lithography: It allows for direct exposure of photoresist on substrates (wafers, glass) without needing a prefabricated photomask.
Resolution: Typically offers a minimum linewidth of 0.6 µm
Wavelength: Operates with a 405 nm laser diode (UV)
Pattern Input: Formats such as GDSII, CIF, DXF
Substrate Handling: Accommodates various substrate sizes, often up to 6-inch wafers (150mm x 150mm working area).
Spin Coater:
Spin Coating from 500rpm to 10,000rpm of any photoresist
Thermal Evaporator:
