Lift-Off is a process of creating pattern on the substrate surface and opposite to etching process. In this process, E-beam evaporation is used to deposit desired layer (metal) in substrate surface. For SYSKEY's system can control the evaporation rate, the film thickness and uniformity is less than +/- 3%.

◀ Design stage water cooling or liquid nitrogen cooling for Lift-Off process.

Lift-off process steps:

1. Preparation of the substrate.
2. Deposition of the sacrificial stencil layer.
3. Patterning the sacrificial layer (ex. etching), creating an inverse pattern.
4. Deposition of the target material.
5. Washing out the sacrificial layer together with the target material on its surface.
6. Final pattern layers:
①Substrate
②Sacrificial layer
③Target material

Applications	Chamber
