  • Publication number: 20050264777
    Abstract: A machine and method for high speed production of circuit patterns on silicon wafers or similar substrates may be used for applications including printing Integrated Circuit (IC) packaging patterns onto wafers prior to separating IC chips. Projection camera(s) simultaneously project image(s) onto substrate(s) carried on an X, Y, ? stage. The projection camera(s) may include independent alignment systems, light sources, and control of focus, image placement, image size, and dose. In one embodiment, each camera inlcudes a 6-axis reticle chuck that moves a reticle to correct image-to-substrate overlay errors. In-stage metrology sensors and machine software establish and maintain the correct relationship among the machine's coordinate systems. Thus, two or more projection cameras can print simultaneously even when substrates are slightly misplaced on the X, Y, ? stage.
