Used ULTRATECH 1000 #9151433 for sale

ULTRATECH 1000 wafer stepper is a high-performance lithography equipment designed to pattern small conductive, dielectric, and insulating features as thin as 0.8 μm on semiconductor wafers. It employs advanced photon imaging technology to achieve the highest resolution achievable in a production environment while maintaining high throughput and accurate feature placement. 1000 achieves superior image resolution with a proprietary electron-beam-induced-deposition (EBID) system. This unit produces vertical integration of the consistent energy spread of monochromatic light to selectively deposit materials on the wafer. The deposition layer forms a precise pattern, precisely reproducing the mask used in the lithography. The machine is designed to accurately and quickly process large quantities of substrates. It features a single-wafer load port that accommodates a wide range of wafer sizes and substrates. This saves valuable production time and reduces costs associated with loading and unloading substrates. ULTRATECH 1000's automation capabilities also contribute to its high throughput. Robotic arms can insert and retrieve wafers from the load port to expedite the processing cycle. Wafer placement is automated using advanced wafer-tracking technology as part of the complete lithography workflow. This further increases throughput and saves time by allowing multiple wafers to be processed in parallel. To further improve throughput, 1000 is equipped with advanced control capabilities. All processes are electronically monitored to detect and correct any misalignment caused by machine shaking or thermal expansion. Machine vibration can also be isolated with the tool's vibration control asset. ULTRATECH 1000 is also designed for ease of operation. Its automated positioning model takes into account all environmental effects to ensure that the pattern produced is identical to the mask used in the lithography. In addition, the equipment comes with intuitive, menu-driven user interface for easy setup and operation. Overall, 1000 is a powerful and highly advanced tool for producing small, highly accurate features on semiconductor wafers. With its superior imaging technology, rapid automation, and flexible control capabilities, it provides users with excellent throughput, resolution, and accuracy.
