Product Selection

The LEP400 Series comes in a number of different configurations to satisfy the etching needs of a wide range of diverse materials as well as the diverse needs of a wide range of applications - from flexible research and development labs to the stringent requirements of high volume production facilities. We have made the range as modular as possible to enable you to choose the system that meets your specific requirements. In this format we can supply a complete solution that you can have up and running in minutes. You simply need to supply the etch machine and a table or trolley to put the controller and screen on.

Base Systems

The Base Systems are the starting point for your selection. Each Base System includes the following items;

A LEP400 interferometric head with co-linear camera for live viewing of the sample.

A kinematic mount with fingertip control for rapid normal incidence alignment of the optical train.

A high precision 25mm travel manual XY stage to align the laser spot with the desired mask feature.

An adapter block to enable you to bolt the head to the top of the etch chamber.

All power supplies and cabling.

A 20 bit A/D acquisition module for high resolution interference signal capture.

A Dell Server based controller module.

Preinstalled EtchDirector software. See more details of the EtchDirector software here.

The Base Systems come in three flavours depending upon the desired monitoring wavelength, namely;

MONITORING WAVELENGTH
ORDER CODE
670nm
LEP400.BASE.670
980nm
LEP400.BASE.980
1550nm
LEP400.BASE.1550

Standard Options

Each Base System can be supplied with the following options to suite your requirements;

DESCRIPTION

ORDER CODE

Upgrade to full digital IO capability. The EtchDirector software enables digital IO signals to be associated with critical events, so that the Base System can be integrated into an etch machine's control system allowing automatic start and stop of the etch when the required etch depth or end point condition has been met.

LEP.DIGIIO

14 inch B&W monitor for viewing the live image of the sample and the laser spot from the LEP400 camera. The monitor can be placed next to the Base System, or it may be placed close to the LEP400 head.....ideal for operation in remote cleanroom environments.

LEP.BWMON

On screen graphics capture. This enables a live view of the camera image to be viewed on the 20 inch LCD monitor (LEP.LCDMON). This is ideal in situations where space is critical.

LEP.VISION

Stylish 20 inch LCD Monitor to connect to the Base System.

LEP.LCDMON

Matching keyboard and mouse to connect to the Base System.
