Bi-Layer Lift-Off Processes
For Bi-Layer Lift-Off Processes

Microposit LOL 2000 lift-off layer is an enhanced dissolution rate, dyed PMGI (polyme- thylglutarimide) solution used for lift-off processes requiring tight CD control, such as GMR thinfilm head, GaAs, and other leading-edge semiconductor applications. The LOL bilayer lift-off process is suitable for applications where a thin layer of metal is sputtered or evaporated in an addi- tive process. CD variation due to etch bias inherent in substractive processes is eliminated, resulting in superiormetallinewidthcontrol.Attackonthe substrates by an etchant is eliminated.

Hybrid Polymers

micro resist technology offers a broad portfolio of UV-curable hybrid polymer products for micro-optical applications. Their excellent optical transparency and high thermal stability makes them perfectly suitable for the production of polymer-based optical components and waveguides. The main fields of application are micro lenses, diffractive optical elements (DOE), gratings, and single-mode or multi-mode waveguides.

Nanoimprint Resists

Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) is a straight forward, low cost, and high throughput capable technology for the fabrication of nanometer scaled patterns. Main application fields are photonics, next generation electronics, as well as bio- and sensor applications.

micro resist technology GmbH has provided tailor-made resist formulations for nanoimprint lithography (NIL) since 1999. The unique key features of our products are outstanding film forming and imprinting performance beside excellent pattern fidelity and plasma etch stability. Besides our highly innovative material developments in close contact to industrial needs, our strength is the ability to adjust our materials in film thickness as well as addressing certain needs of the specific use cases within the formulation. Our nanoimprint resists are mostly applied as an etch mask for pattern transfer into various substrates, like Si, SiO2, Al or sapphire.

Our portfolio covers materials for the classical thermal NIL (T-NIL), in which a thermoplastic polymer is used, as well as UV-NIL, in which a liquid formulation is photo crosslinked upon photo exposure. With our technological expertise and know-how we are able to find the right material for your process and applications. Please contact us for your technical support!
