OAI Announces Multiple Orders For Advanced, Model 6000, Production Mask Aligners

Installed in USA & Asia for Manufacturing MEMS Devices and Devices for Mobile Phones

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) - OAI, a leading Silicon Valley, CA-based manufacturer of advanced precision lithography equipment for the semiconductor, MEMS, and microfluidics industries, announced today that multiple units of their advanced, Model 6000 production mask aligners have been sold and installed. OAI’s unique, modular design approach adds the flexibility required to meet the customers’ specific production process. This design paradigm offers a production mask aligner system at the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO). The exceptional versatility of the Model 6000 Mask Aligner enables the customer to start with a manual system and upgrade in the field to a fully automated, cassette to cassette system as production requirements grow.

The OAI Model 6000 production mask aligner has numerous features designed specifically to meet the changing needs of semiconductor device manufacturers. Designed by OAI’s engineers, the systems feature dual Kohler Optical Integrators designed by OAI's engineers, that deliver exceptional uniformity. The system throughput is optimized using a single or dual robot configuration with up to 180 wafers per hour (1st mask). The Model 6000 system will accommodate cassette to cassette or FOUP to FOUP wafer transfer for wafers up to 300mm.

With the development of this production mask aligner, OAI anticipates the challenges presented by the fast moving semiconductor and MEMS industries. Built on OAI’s proven modular platform, the Model 6000 is a high-performance, high-resolution lithography system that delivers a level of performance that is offered at an extremely compelling price point. Charles D. Turk, CEO of OAI notes, “The wide acceptance of the Automated Model 6000 Mask Aligner for production elevates OAI’s business to the next level. It affirms our modular design approach, and enables us to offer advanced mask aligner systems at the lowest total cost of ownership. This new design builds in added flexibility for meeting the customers’ specific production process."
