EVG®620 NT

Mask Alignment System
(semi-automated / automated)

The EVG®620 NT provides state-of-the art mask alignment technology on a minimized footprint area up to 150 mm wafer size.

Known for its versatility and reliability, the EVG620 NT provides state-of-the-art mask alignment technology on a minimized footprint area combined with advanced alignment features and optimized total cost of ownership. It is an ideal tool for optical double-side lithography available in semi-automated or automated configuration with optional full-housing Gen 2 solution to meet high-volume production requirements and fab standards. Operator-friendly software, minimized time for mask and tooling changes, as well as efficient worldwide service and support makes it the ideal solution for any manufacturing environment. The EVG620 NT or the fully housed EVG620 NT Gen2 mask alignment systems are equipped with integrated vibration isolation, and achieve excellent exposure results for a wide range of applications, such as exposure of thin and thick resists, patterning of deep cavities and comparable topographies, as well as processing of thin and fragile materials such as compound semiconductors. Furthermore, the EVG’s proprietary SmartNIL technology is supported on both semi-automated and fully automated system configurations.
