[labnetwork] Heidelberg uMLA direct write system

[Price, Aimee]

Hi Justin,
We have two MLA150s but a couple of our campus facilities have purchased or are in the process of purchasing smaller tools like uMLA. One of the groups is highly considering the Raith tools, in the Picomaster line. I visited their factory in 2023 and their technology is impressive. They are slower, I believe, than the Heidelberg equivalent but their resolution is 300 or 400 nm. They were originally used for master duplication and for BluRay needed to be 300nm range. They then made holographic images for anti-counterfitting applications. Then they were purchased by Raith, who is marketing them to our industry.

I suggested to our campus folks that they send relevant samples/patterns to both Heidelberg and Raith for comparison, since each of the labs had different requirements.

Best of luck!

Labnetwork Community, We are looking at replacing our Heidelberg uP101 direct/mask write system. We currently have a quote for a uMLA configured for 0. 6um min feature, 150mm stage, optical focus and LED: 365 Do you have a similar build? I welcome


Labnetwork Community,

We are looking at replacing our Heidelberg uP101 direct/mask write system.
We currently have a quote for a uMLA configured for 0.6um min feature, 150mm stage, optical focus and LED:365

Do you have a similar build? I welcome your feedback.
Do you know of any other direct write manufacturer whose quality and reliability are comparable to Heidelberg?


Thanks so much!
