Operating Procedure

The SUSS MicroTec MA6 Aligner is the heart of the BYU Cleanroom and photolithography processes that occur here. Designed for research and small-scale processes, the MA6 both places the mask (aligns it) with reference to the wafer and also exposes the wafer to UV light. Controls and a microscope help the user easily adjust the wafer and mask alignment to allow for development of high quality features.
