  • Microfabrication and Nanotechnology
  • Optical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Traditional photolithography systems can be expensive and complex.
  • There is a need for accessible, high-resolution patterning tools for laboratory research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a cost-effective, home-built projection lithography system.
  • To demonstrate its capability for microscale pattern transfer using a digital light processing (DLP) projector.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a DLP projector's MEMS matrix to project images onto photoresist-coated substrates.
  • Employed blue light (450 nm) for photoresist exposure and red light for calibration.
  • Incorporated a movable platform for field stitching to create larger patterns.
  • Achieved pattern transfer with resolutions of 2 μm (single frame) and 5 μm (stitched fields).

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a microfabrication system with resolutions down to 2 μm.
  • Achieved 5 μm resolution over a 1 × 1 cm² area using field stitching.
  • Obtained an exposure speed of approximately 1 mm²/100 s.
  • The system utilizes affordable and readily available components.

Conclusions:

  • The developed projection lithography system is a cost-effective solution for laboratory prototyping.
  • It meets the resolution and speed requirements for diverse research fields, including 2D materials, quantum optics, and microfluidics.
  • The system's accessibility broadens its potential applications in scientific research.
