About

Raith EBPG5150 Plus - Ultra High-Performance e-Beam Writer

The Raith EBPG Electron-Beam Lithography (EBL) tool is a high-speed, high current lithography tool for achieving lower than 10nm features, but also capable of very fast writing with the 350nA max current and higher speed 125MHz pattern generator & increased write-field size. The tool has fully automated/programmable aperture switching and beam calibrations. This enables the Raith EBL to write full-wafers at high speed for larger features (high current) and automatically switch+calibrate to exposure small (<<50nm) features in a single exposure, with sophisticated mix+match capabilities and pattern generation for maximum throughput while achieving the best high-resolution performance.
