Mask Aligner
EVG®620 (EVG Group)
The EVG 620 mask aligner includes all the tools able to control the entire micro fabrication process, from the wafer loading to the exposure, thanks to the control of the wafer position in relation to the mask (photolithography) or the stamp (UV-NIL and u-CP) and the exposure dose of the coated substrate through the mask. The system is able to generate structures with micrometric resolution through the photolithography process, to have alignment accuracy under 1 um and to generate the UV-NIL and µ-CP stamps with an UV-NIL resolution up to 50 nm.

Thermal Evaporator
Nano 36 (Kurt J-Lesker)
The thermal evaporator Nano 36 from Kurt J-Lesker allows the coatings and deposition of multilayer thin films of metals with a control on the sub-nanometric scale. It is equipped with: i) a vacuum chamber able to load a single 8" wafer or multiple smaller substrates; ii) three evaporation sources for multilayer deposition; iii) a quartz crystal sensor, that in conjunction with a thin film controller (FTC-2000), ensures an automatic control of the film thickness. Furthermore the substrate and source shutter and the motorized rotation of the sample holder ensure a uniform deposition on the entire surface of the substrate. Thermal evaporation, in combination with photolithography and lift off processes, allows the fabrication of microelectrodes for the development of electrochemical biosensor.

Plasma system
Tucano (Gambetti)
The plasma system Gambetti-Tucano is equipped with a 6 liters aluminum chamber, a vacuum pump to evacuate the chamber and two gas suppliers for gas flow control. It allows an automatic matching of all the process parameters (vacuum, gas flow, gas pressure, power and time). The system is equipped with a MHz generator (13,56 MHz) with a maximum power of 200 W that make it flexible and useful to achieve either the cleaning or the activation of the irradiated surface. The plasma cleaner can be used to remove contaminants from a surface avoiding the use of dangerous chemicals, to promote the adhesion between two surfaces for the realization of microfluidic devices and to control surface tension making it hydrophobic or hydrophilic in order to control cell spreading and adhesion.
