JBX-8100FS

High Throughput Direct Write System

Representing 50 years of expertise in electron beam lithography, the all-new JEOL JBX-8100FS series spot beam lithography system is designed for higher throughput and lower operating costs.

The JBX-8100FS writes ultrafine patterns at a faster rate of speed while minimizing idle time, especially during the exposure process, thus increasing throughput.

This new, high precision compact e-beam tool is suitable for a wide range of applications from research to production, while its small footprint and low power consumption reduce cost of ownership.

Main Features

  • Small footprint
    The area required for the standard system is 4.9 m (W) x 3.7 m (D) x 2.6 m (H), much smaller than the conventional systems.
  • Low power consumption
    Power needed for normal operation is approximately 3 kVA, reduced to 1/3 of the conventional systems.
  • High throughput
    The system has two exposure modes, high resolution and high throughput modes, supporting different types of patterning from ultra fine processing to small to mid size production. It has minimized the idle time during exposure while increasing the maximum scanning speed by 1.25 to 2.5 times to 125 MHz (the world’s highest level) for high speed writing.
  • Version
    The JBX-8100FS is available in 2 versions: G1 (entry model) and G2 (full option model). Optional accessories can be added to the G1 model as needed.
  • New Functions
    An optional optical microscope is available to enable examination of patterns on the sample without exposing resist to light. A signal tower is provided as standard for visual monitoring of system operation.
  • Laser positioning resolution
    Stage positions are measured and controlled in 0.6 nm steps as standard, and in 0.15 nm steps with an optional upgrade.
  • System control
    Versatile Linux® operating system combined with a new graphic user interface provides ease in operation. The data preparation program supports both Linux® and Windows®.
