Designed for photomask production on large substrates in display applications

These large-area VPG+ tools are tailored for high-throughput patterning of large-area wafers (from 0.8 to 1.4 m). VPG+ 1400 is our largest system specifically designed for the display industry. It is optimal for flat panel display (FPD) applications such as TFT-arrays, color filters and ITO. These tools are also used for industrial large-area photomask applications for advanced packaging, semiconductors, LEDs, and touch panel applications.

The VPG+ series is designed for high-quality and fast exposures with extremely accurate alignment. It features a differential interferometer with a resolution down to 1.2 nm. Mura optimization ensures excellent CD uniformity and resolution. The closed-loop environmental chambers comply with the most stringent requirements for advanced photomasks fabrication. Stabilization of writing conditions ensures mask-to-mask reproducibility and compensates for any variations during long exposures. VPG+ systems support all industrial data formats.

Customer applications

Since 2007, VPG systems and their successors, the VPG+ systems, proved to be the ideal solution for the high-volume production of demanding photomasks ⁠— especially for electronic packaging, color filters, light emitting diodes, and touch panels. As a master template for photolithographic manufacturing, such photomasks have to fulfill highest requirements for the line width uniformity, pattern position accuracy, edge roughness and minimum feature size.

The VPG+ series can be used for all display-related applications. In this field, the quality requirements on photomasks are exceptional. One key specification is the so-called Mura condition, describing "unevenness" as a result of any disturbance in a regular periodic pattern. If Mura condition fails to meet the requirements, the final display might havedark spots or patches. The VPG+ series of Maskless Lithography Systems offer special Mura optimization function for good Mura condition and excellent CD uniformity and resolution.
