Once reserved solely for building integrated circuits, contact mask aligners are being updated to fabricate products in diverse
industries such as biotechnology, consumer electronics, aerospace, communications, and transportation.
Canon PLA and MPA series machines survive as extremely capable production machines - so much so that they still represent a very
capable starting point in this migration to new markets.
In the hands of competent re-manufacturers like Neutronix, these machines are even enjoying a "second wind" of utility.
New-generation contact mask aligners handle new sizes of substrates, ranging from pieces up to eight inches in diameter,
which can help reduce production expenses when cost-cutting is necessary.
These newer machines can also be adapted to handle different substrate shapes, such as squares and rectangles,
which were never even imagined at the time when contact mask aligner technology was originated 25-plus years ago.
Particularly in R&D applications, the need to go beyond traditional quartz or glass plate photo masks has accelerated.
When one-off prototyping is a top priority, newer mask aligners make excellent economic sense because they can handle
thin film mylar masks - patterns can be generated and printed onto a mylar mask using nothing more than a high-quality laser printer.
When a company moves beyond the R&D and prototyping stage into manufacturing large production quantities,
moving up to a high-capacity contact mask aligner makes perfect sense. Here, the new-generation machines excel by offering
features such as simple topside mask loading, robotic autoload handling, and auto-alignment.
Some tools offer the best of both worlds, initially featuring manual-tray loading, with the ability to simply add a
module to switch over to high-capacity loading processes when need dictates.
Because of the open architecture now employed within some new-generation contact mask aligners,
manufacturers now have a wide variety of choices in customizing an aligner when unique fabricating requirements materialize.
Far from the least of considerations, economic realities often dictate when new production equipment gets purchased.
In such instances, contact mask aligner technology promises the best benefit-to-cost ratio.
New-generation contact aligners can reproduce traces as small as 0.5 microns at a fraction of the price of expensive stepper technology.
In addition, the latest contact aligners give away little, if anything, in terms of flexibility to any other tools.
Just as important - precisely because contact proximity alignment technology has existed for so long - the latest generation of tools
benefits from years of refinement to the point that they are extremely reliable and robust while still offering low overhead costs.
As ongoing support contracts become less of a necessity, users can lower the cost of ownership even further.
