Ultratech Stepper Inc. has launched the Model 1500MVS, the latest addition to its well-established Model 1500 Lithography Series. The Model 1500MVS incorporates Ultratech’s machine vision system (MVS), which provides enhanced alignment flexibility that is not achievable using traditional alignment methods. As a pattern recognition alignment system, the MVS eliminates the need for larger scribe lines between dies to accommodate dedicated alignment targets, resulting in an increase in the number of net die-per-wafer. According to Ultratech, the Model 1500’s MVS capability enables it to recognize targets produced for any other lithography tool, thereby eliminating the need for dedicated targets and facilitating the implementation of mix-and-match strategies.

The ULTRATECH Saturn Spectrum 300E is a type of stepper developed by Ultratech Stepper Inc. to meet the increasing demand for thick photoresist exposure in 300mm bump applications. It is part of Ultratech’s advanced-packaging product line. The Saturn Spectrum 300E is designed to provide consistent exposure doses on wafer substrates, resulting in faster production times and fewer issues with non-scalable patterns. Its low numerical aperture (NA) and broadband illumination spectrum allow for a more uniform aerial image through the depth of ultra-thick photosensitive materials, compared to steppers with higher NAs and narrower bandwidths.
