-====== G Code for the ESI5330 Laser Cutter ======+====== Photolithography ====== 
 + 
 +The ECE Cleanroom in Owen has a mask aligner and photolithography processing stations available for use. Proper training must be received prior to using the equipment (see Chris Tasker).  
 + 
 +Photolithography masks can be created via a laser writing tool (also in the cleanroom). Smallest feature size is approximately 500 nm. Chrome/Quartz mask blanks run approximately $60. Laser time costs money due to the finite life of the tool and the cost of laser gas. Direct write lithography is also available.

 +====== Shadow Masks ====== 
 + 
 +Shadow masks for depositing films and wires have been made with the help of Todd Miller (rtm at oregon state dot edu) at the [[http://mbi-online.org/|MBI]] (Microproducts Breakthrough Institute on HP campus).  Pre-2011 was Jack Rundel, who has left MBI. 
 + 
 +We have created masks out of 50um 304SS flat shim stock and 75um 316SS shim stock. Other materials are available for use.  Drawings should be made in a CAD program that can export to DXF (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc); one free option is DraftSight, a 2-D program from the makers of SolidWorks. 
 + 
 +The tool used to cut the masks is the ESI5330 UV Laser Drill. The cutting path of the drill is controlled by relatively simple "G code." [[http://www.solidworks.com/|SolidWorks]] can be used to create more complex models that can be converted into G code at MBI. Guest workstations with SolidWorks and other programs are available for use. Jack has a great {{:mask:importing_part_from_solidworks_to_smartcam_08-2010.pdf|step by step guide}} on how to properly export the models and get the data to the drill.  
 + 
 +For the shim stock, the average line width is about 50um, although 20um lines have been achieved.

 +===== G Code for the ESI5330 ===== 
  
 Example G code that describes a 10mm square within a 30mm square. All coordinates are shown in micron units. The internal features cut first. The part perimeter cuts last. Example G code that describes a 10mm square within a 30mm square. All coordinates are shown in micron units. The internal features cut first.
