光学或电子束曝光形成光刻胶的图形,金属薄膜沉积之后将光刻胶用除胶剂等溶解清除。
剥离用负胶跟光刻原理有关。正胶是曝光部分被显影掉。光刻胶层顶部比底部的曝光量更充足,显影后形成上面小下面大的“正梯形”截面。镀金属后难剥离。负胶则相反。
對於特定種類的金屬要使用蝕刻方式完成電路圖案會相當困難,像是III-V與II-VI族化合物半導體或是MEMS微機電的製備,如使用的金屬為鉻Chromium不像鋁容易蝕刻,因此需要採掀離Lift-Off製程。
Lift-Off的製成良率,取決於金屬薄膜是否垂直且均勻perpendicularly
&uniformly蒸鍍於有覆蓋光阻及沒有光阻的表面:從鍍膜垂直的要求,若金屬薄膜蒸鍍在光阻的側面side
wal,則無法在後續步驟使用丙酮或有機溶劑移除光阻,從而形成元件製作上的缺陷。從鍍膜均勻的要求,若鍍於晶圓表面的金屬膜薄厚度不均,同樣構成元件製作上的缺陷
NR7-PY lift-off
resist is a simple, easy method for making metallic patterns on a
substrate, especially for those noble metal thin films such as
platinum, tantalum, nickel or iron which are difficult to be
etched by conventional methods.
NR7 side walls with a large undercut are required for lift-off
applications. The resists make possible fabrication of side
walls with high undercut. Edge profiles with steep edges or with
high undercut can be generated by varying the development time.
Using a minimum time for development, the resist side walls can be
made steep, and only a small undercut occurs in the middle region.
With over-development,
the undercut increases - and the resulting patterns are best
suited for use with lift-off techniques. gold, aluminum, and
nickel were used for sputtering, and the metals were deposited on
the resist patterns up to a height of 1
µm. No change in resist quality was
observed during the deposition process. After metal, the resist
patterns could easily be removed with acetone.
