Solid Model to Grayscale Mask SOP

Overview:  

This SOP is designed to enable a user familiar with solid modeling to setup a part or assembly for conversion into a grayscale mask file. While this SOP is written specifically for SolidWorks 2010, the concepts presented here apply to any modeling program capable of saving in the stereolithography (.stl) file format. However, the exact sequence of steps may differ.

Depending on the level of complexity, stereolithography and grayscale mask file sizes can be quite large. Therefore, a Dropbox.com account or other similar cloud based file sharing service is recommended to facilitate with file transfer.

INTELLIsuite TRAINING: Intellietch KOH TUTORIAL

IntelliEtch is an advanced ab initio based anisotropic etch process simulation tool for MEMS design and process control. IntelliEtch can simulate complex MEMS structures by enabling:

• Simultaneous use of multiple silicon nitride and oxide masks, applied to the top or bottom of the wafer
• Definition and etching of buried insulator layers - as in SOI wafers - allowing accurate control of the etch depth in applications
• Definition and etching of sacrificial layers - such as polysilicon - allowing the simulation of more complex structures
