UV-KUB 2 - UV-LED masking system

An UV-LED masker with an unrivalled collimation perfomance

The exposure and masking system UV-KUB 2, available in 4″ or 6″ version, is the first UV-LED masking system available on the international market. The UV-KUB 2 is a compact exposure-masking system equipped with a LED based optical head, collimated and homogeneous.

Its masking function enables to reach resolutions down to 2µm. This system is compatible with any of the most popular photoresists such as AZ series, Shipley series, SU-8 and K-CL series.

A new approach of masking

The mask aligner range UV-KUB proposes equipment with different levels of flexibility and functionality, in 4” or 6” version, with or without alignment function.

With the UV-LED masker UV-KUB 2, you benefit from the LED technology:

A cold UV source, therefore eliminating undesirable thermal effects and offer a perfectly monochromatic illumination.

You can operate in continuous or pulse mode.

Lifetime of the LEDs > 10 000h: no particular maintenance needed.

By its hermetic configuration, the exposure-masking UV-KUB 2 is an ideal equipment for your laboratory or clean-room. Compact and controlled by touchscreen, the UV-KUB 2 ensures safety through an entirely closed exposure chamber, with both hard or soft contact modes available.

UV-KUB 2 is especially well suited for:

the creation of microfluidic systems​

integrated optical circuits

surface microstructuration by photolithography.

Unrivalled collimation performance

Kloe company has paid particular attention to the unique and specific optical processing chain based on its broad experience in this field.

HIGH quality collimation system

The UV-LED masker UV-KUB 2 benefits from a high quality collimation system that enables to obtain a homogeneous high resolution over the 4 or 6 inches working surface, depending the version.

The divergence angle of the UV light source is less than 2°. 

Therefore the achievement of patterns with resolution down to 2µm and with excellent verticality of edges on thick layers is guaranteed.

join the success

Don’t just take our word for it

“The experience we have with Kloe since we acquired the UV-KUB 2 is quite unique. Beyond the product itself, which perfectly matches our expectations in terms of accuracy and implementation speed, this is the quality of service in terms of advice and maintenance that most impresses us.

Reactivity, availability and flexibility seem to be Kloe's key words. The details of the technical characteristics of the product are always perfectly mastered within the commercial team, which from this point of view has proven to be extremely effective so far.

Given the quality and diversity of the proposed microfabrication systems, but also given the close relationship that we have been able to build with the technical and commercial teams, we will undoubtedly remain with Kloe for our future purchase.”
