Elionix

• You must be at least a Master student or signed up for a long term (>6 months) project to be allowed to use a tool.
• You'll need 3 sessions of about 2.5 hrs each on the tool to get trained on this tool.
• You'll also need a software session of about 0.5 hrs.
• Before any training slots are booked on the tool you'll need all of the following to prepared:
  • Si chip (5-10 mm square) spin coated with A2 and baked at 185C/2mins.
  • A design (gds, dxf, cif) with:
    • 4 alignment crosses (find out what marks work on the tool from your sub-group).
    • Something to break the symmetry so you can tell chip orientation with your bare eye
    • A pattern that you will use to test overlay (alignment between two lithography steps). A Vernier pattern is commonly used. Feel free to test your ideas.
    • Something creative, somethin fun :) This is an exercise in learning CAD as well.
  • Then follow workflow 3 at Qdev wiki to convert your design file into the Elionix exposure format *co7
