IQ ALIGNER

A contactless proximity lithography platform, the IQ ALIGNER possesses a high level of automation, meeting the requirement for minimised production line mask contamination, while increasing product yield and mask lifetime. Offering automated handling and several alignment features, the system provides specialised configurations for thinned and warped wafer processing. Operation can be switched between bottom or top side alignment, and the field of applications can be widened by integrated IR alignment capabilities. The system’s fast response, temperature controlled tool sets support wafer alignment runout control.
