UV-KUB 3 - New generation of Mask aligner

First compact system with UV-LED light source

The mask aligner UV-KUB 3 is the first mask alignment system equipped with a UV-LED light source, that provide an unrivalled collimation and homogeneous exposure, on the international market.

Compact, easy to use and efficient, the mask alignment system UV-KUB 3 allows alignment up to 7" photolithography mask with substrates up to 6" in a cube volume of 48cm size.

Thanks to its removable photomask holder, the handling of fragile mask is considerably reduced: you can change the substrate as often as you want without touching the photomask.

Compatible with all standard photoresists: AZ, Shipley, SU8 and K-CL

A new approach of mask alignment

The new generation of mask aligner UV-KUB 3 is particularly suited for the production, through soft lithography, of microfluidic chip, integrated optical circuits, microelectronics, MEMS, semiconductor technology...

Fully secure thanks to its dust-proof hood, this equipment is the only solution on the market that democratizes precision photolithography without requiring a cleanroom type environment.

Resolution and alignment precision

Its design makes possible the realization of microstructures below 1 µm over the entire 4" or 6" work surface with an alignment precision of less than 1 µm.

Advantages of the UV-LED exposure technology

  • illumination source devoid of undesirable thermal effects
  • perfectly monochromatic
  • lifetime of the LEDs > 10 000h: requires no specific maintenance

A compact mask alignment system

Beyond its size reduced to a minimum, its internal supporting structure dispenses the need for anti-vibration table, combined with low power consumption, the UV-KUB 3 is the ideal tool to control the operating costs.

A removable photomask holder

The photomask holder is removable: you can change the substrate as often as you want without touching the photomask. It allows to save a lot of time in production mode and thus, improve the efficiency of the automatic prealignment function.

User-friendly and efficient

With the UV-KUB 3 make precision mask alignments of less than 1 µm in few minutes with the ergonomic control joypad or with the help of the dynamic and intuitive tactile interface.

Low cost equipment

UV-KUB 3 is the less expensive high resolution mask aligner offered in the international market place.

Special field of application of the mask aligner 6 inches version

The mask aligner UV-KUB 3, 6 inches version, is perfectly well suited for:

  • semiconductor technology
  • microfluidics lab on a chip fabrication

High quality collimated and homogeneous exposure

Thanks to a divergence angle less than 2°, you can reach resolutions down to micrometre scale without needing a vacuum mode.

It is thus possible to work on thick layers (several hundreds of microns) with a perfect rendering of the edges, with no roughness. This allows to reach 10x100 aspect ratio.
