tion of this machine as well as appropriate precau-
tionary measures and recommended procedures
are described in this section of the manual - as well
as in warnings which are applied to the machine or
its assemblies or in some cases to the packaging.
Both types of warning must be understood and ob-
served by theMJB4 operator of the machine. Warn-
ings are normally divided into
• a description of the possible hazard
• directions on avoidance of the danger or on the
correct procedure to be followed in the event of
danger.
A warning or instruction symbol appears next to the
warning.

To begin operating the machine again, the main
switch must be turned to ON and the machine must
be restarted.
1.5. Dangers
1.5.1. Physical Dangers
Movingmachinepartssuchasthealignmentstation,
microscopes and their manipulators, the mirror
housing and others can cause injury to the operator.
You should take particular care of the movements of
the microscscope if your machine is equipped with
the direct microscope viewfinder.
Moving machine parts can injure the
fingers or face.
Do not remove any materials from the
machine until all machine movements
have stopped!
With a machine equipped with a vibra-
tion-damped underframe, the base
plate can sink without warning in the
event of a drop in pressure in the com-
pressed air supply.
Never place the hands between the
base plate and the vibration-damped
underframe of the machine!
The movement of a direct viewfinder
can cause injury to the eyes or face.
Stop looking into the microscope view-
finder before you start the microscope
movement!
A particular danger results from the
fragments thrown out in the event of a
lamp explosion!
Situations which can lead to a lamp ex-
plosion are described in a separate
section.
You should also be aware of the risk of
poisoning with Hg following a lamp ex-
plosion; this is also described in a sep-
arate section.
1.5.2. Thermal Dangers
The upper side of the lamp house gets very hot dur-
ing operation.
Operatingtemperaturesofseveralhundred°Coccur
on the lamp itself.
The lamp cooling must be correctly adjusted accord-
ing to the lamp type!
There is a risk of lamp explosion if the
lamp house is opened prematurely
while the lamp is hot.
The exposure lamp has to cool down
for at least 20 minutes before the lamp
house door is opened!
The controlled cooling required for
more powerful lamp types must also be
left in operation during the cooling
phase!
1.5.3. Electrical Dangers
Live parts may be exposed when the machine cover
is removed.
High wattages and currents of up to 50 A can occur
in the lamp and lamp power supply.
The lamp starting voltage can be up to 30 kV.
Do not open the machine until the
whole machine has been isolated from
the power supply!
Pay attention to this warning symbol on
covers!
Where applicable, observe local "log
out - tag out" regulations!
The individual electrical assemblies, especially bal-
lasts CIC1200, CPC200 and CPC350, contain no
parts which the user could repair or adjust.
1.5.4. Radiation Danger
The high luminous density of the exposure lamp can
cause eye damage.
Inparticular,theinvisible ultraviolet componentofthe
light can lead to permanent eye damage or skin
burns.
UV light can acutely or permanently
damage your eyes.
Covers over the ray path may not be re-
moved while the UV lamp is switched
on!
Lamp adjustment work may only be
carried out with UV-protective goggles
- also with skin protection in the case of
intensive radiation!

WARNINGSANDSAFETY PRECAUTIONS
MJB4 - Warnings and Safety Rev02 01-06 3

Light measurements on the exposure
chuck also require the use of UV-pro-
tective goggles.
UV-protective goggles must carry a marking indicat-
ing the protection class. The colour of the goggles
provides no indication of their protective effect!
1.5.5. Danger of Poisoning
1.5.5.1. Mercury Fumes following Lamp
Breakage
The biggest danger following a lamp explosion or
lamp breakage lies in the inhalation of the toxic mer-
cury fumes. Mercury can cause acute and chronic
poisoning.
Note:
The EU safety data sheets can be found
in the Appendix and must be read.
Advice on minimising health risks folowing a lamp
explosion:
• Leave the lamp house extractor switched on
(with powerful lamps)!
• Leave the contaminated room immediately!
• Ventilate the room well for at least 30 minutes!
• Do not open the lamp house for the time being.
Allow the interior of the lamp house to cool down
for at least 1 hour!
• Carry out lamp house decontamination using an
appropriate decontamination agent (see section
on changing the exposure lamp)!
• Follow the general and national safety regula-
tions relating to Hg!
• Adoctor shouldbeconsultedimmediatelyif there
is a possibility of mercury fumes having been in-
haled!
1.5.5.2. Generation of Ozone during the
Operation of the Lamp
Short-wavelength ultraviolet light can ionize the at-
mospheric oxygen.
Anexposurelampthereforegeneratesozoneduring
operation.
Long-termandintensiveexposuretoozonecanlead
to damage to the respiratory organs.
Where powerful lamps or special lamps
for deep-UV are used, additional ex-
traction and controlled cooling by
means of nitrogen flushing should be
ensured (see setting tables)!
If the stipulated settings are applied correctly, the
ozone concentration in the area surrounding the
lamp house should remain well below the permissi-
ble limit.
1.6. Working with the MJB4
Mask Aligner
Only SUSS MicroTec employees or qualified and
trained staff may service the machine.
The operating and starting voltages in
high-pressure lamps are deadly dan-
gerous!
The machine must be switched off be-
fore beginning servicing work on the
lamp house or other electrical compo-
nents!
1.6.1. Fitting, Changing and Cool-
ing the Exposure Lamp
When working with high-pressure lamps, the appro-
priate safety regulations and service life specifica-
tions of the lamp manufacturer must be observed.
Hg-filled UV high-pressure lamps must be changed
once the service life specified by the manufacturer
has expired. There is an increased risk of lamp ex-
plosion after this date!
Premature failure of a lamp can be the result of in-
correct lamp cooling (too powerful or too weak), in-
correct power setting, soiling of the lamp tube or
similar.
Exposurelampsshouldonlybehandledwithgloves.
Clean any grease marks with alcohol!
1.6.1.1. Danger of Lamp Explosion
If the Hg high-pressure lamps are operated accord-
ing to their specification (type selection on CIC, cool-

ing, min/max power, service life), lamp explosions
during operation are extremely rare.
The exposure lamp should always be protected
against shock when handling - the lamps should al-
ways be stored and transported in their original
packaging!
Any other mechanical stress such as bending or
twisting during installation should also be carefully
avoided!
The exposure lamp is under high pres-
sure.
Mechanical face and eye protection
should be worn when handling a high-
pressure lamp!
If the lamp breaks, do not touch the
components with the hand and do not
inhale the Hg fumes!
Use a breathing mask with gas absorp-
tion during decontamination!
In the event of a lamp explosion, after the immediate
measures described in section Danger of poisoning
an Hg decontamination kit (e.g Mercurisorb) should
be used to eliminate the mercury which is still
present. Such a kit should always be kept in store.
These can be obtained, for example, from:
Carl Roth GmbH & Co
P.O. Box 100121
D-76231 Karlsruhe
http://www.carl-roth.de
1.6.1.2. Changing the Lamp
Only use lamps of a type approved for use by SUSS
MicroTec Lithography!
In almost all exposure lamps, the anode
(positive pole) is at the bottom.
Only the 500W DUV Hg/Xe lamp (Ushio)
position is reversed.
After changing the lamp type or replac-
ing a CIC1200, CPC200 or CPC350 it is
essential to check the correct polarity
of the lamp and correct type selection
on the CIC1200 before switching on the
lamp!
Always follow the lamp manufacturer's directions!
When fitting or removing the lamp, avoid any me-
chanical load acting on the glass tube! Only tighten
the lamp by hand!
Pay attention to the correct handling of different
lamp mountings (depending on the lamp house
type) - see Servicing section in the manual!
Connect the connection contacts on the lamp in
such a way that electrical contact resistances are
minimized. Replace all components which show
traces of corrosion or overheating!
1.6.1.3. Setting Regulations for Lamp
Cooling
The UV-exposure lamps must be cooled in a con-
trolled way in order to maintain safe and optimum
operating conditions. The cooling should be set up
individually according to the lamp type.
Detailed values for the lamp cooling and the vol-
ume flow which needs to be extracted for differ-
ent lamps can be found in the table "Setting
values for lamp cooling and lamp house extrac-
tion" in section 1.1. "Prerequisites for Installa-
tion".
The basic components of the cooling are:
• Blowing of nitrogen onto the metallic lamp cap
(but never the glass tube),
• Blowing of compressed air into a heat sink (for ra-
diation of heat) in the lamp house.
The lamp-specific values both for the adjustment of
the blowing of nitrogen onto the upper and lower
lamp caps and also for the extraction should be ob-
served.
Significant deviations from the setting values endan-
ger your safety!
Minor deviations affect the operating safety of the
lamp and machine.
If a lamp frequently illuminates in an unstable man-
ner, or of the life of the lamp has systematically de-
teriorated, carefully check the settings for the lamp
cooling. Frequently, the causeof such problems lies
in incorrect setting of these data or in incorrect fixing
of the connections. If you are not sure, call in SUSS

MicroTec's service to carry out a check!
Note!
In addition, in order to achieve good ex-
posure results, the evenness of the
light should be adjusted after fitting a
new lamp.
1.6.1.4. Lamp Housing Extraction
As a rule, no suction is required for 200W and 350W
lamps.
Ozone extraction from the lamp housing must be en-
sured for the 500W DUV Hg/Xe lamp in the 350W
lamphousingtoavoidhealthrisk.Add-onkititemno.
189553 is required for this purpose.
Detailed values can be found in the table "Set-
ting values for lamp cooling and lamp house ex-
traction" in section 1.1. "Prerequisites for
Installation".
1.6.1.5. Disposal
Used lamps should also only be stored and trans-
ported in the original protective packaging!
UV high-pressure lamps contain up to 1g of highly-
toxic mercury.
These lamps should therefore be treated as special-
category waste.
Local regulations on disposal should be observed.
It is possible to return the lamps to the supplier or
manufacturer.
1.6.2. Preparing the Machine for
Working
Check that the vibration-insulated table (if present)
is working.
Caution!
In the event of a loss of pressure, the ta-
ble can drop and trap the fingers!
1.6.2.1. Preparing to Switch ON
The following instructions assume that the mask
aligner has been correctly installed and that the ma-
chine has been connected to the power supply net-
work by switching on the main power switch.
The following pressure values should be present on
the machine:
• Compressed air
5,5 - 7 bar (COMPRESSED AIR)
• Nitrogen
2 - 3 bar (NITROGEN)
• Vacuum
-0.8 bar (means 0.2 bar absolute (VACUUM))
1.6.3. Safety Checks
The important safety functions of the machine
should be checked for safe functioning at regular in-
tervals - i.e at least every three months.
This applies as long as the check itself does not rep-
resent a hazard.
The following should be tested:
• that the machine stops immediately after the
Emergency Off switch is operated,
• acoustic warning signal by the power supply unit
in the event of a failure in the nitrogen supply -
only very brief for test purposes!
