Nikon Launches DSP-110 Digital Lithography System with 1.5 μm Resolution

· Issued by Nikon Corp.

Summary by 6ix

Nikon is launching the DSP-110, a digital lithography system with 1.5 µm (L/S, meaning line and space width) resolution for chip advanced packaging. It succeeds the DSP-100, which has 1.0 µm (L/S) resolution.

Key details

  • Nikon says its digital lithography systems remove the need for photomasks while achieving both high resolution and high productivity.
  • Nikon says the DSP-110's improved throughput came from redesigning the DSP-100's optical system, which it designs and manufactures in-house.
  • The system targets redistribution layer (RDL) patterning, the printing of wiring layers used in semiconductor advanced packaging.

In the semiconductor advanced packaging market, the importance of redistribution layer (RDL) patterning technology is increasing, driven by growing demand for high-density wiring for large interposers and multilayer FC-BGA substrates*5.
Nikon has been developing digital lithography systems that eliminate the need for photomasks while achieving both high resolution and high productivity. Nikon is launching the DSP-110 with 1.5 µm (L/S) resolution as a successor following the DSP-100 with 1.0 µm (L/S) resolution. The improved throughput of the DSP-110 was achieved by redesigning the optical system of the DSP-100. This was made possible by Nikon's unique technological capabilities in designing and manufacturing optical systems in-house. Going forward, Nikon will continue to closely monitor technology trends in advanced packaging while responding to customers' diverse needs, including resolution and supported substrate types.
