Bungard Filmstar-PLUS Small

Overview

Photoplotter
Plastic photolithography mask for microfluidics mixer devices where channel diameter and presence of teeth for increased mixing are changed between the four patterns. Fabricated using the Bungard Filmstar Photoplotter in the VINSE Cleanroom. (Christina McGahan, VINSE)

The Bungard Filmstar-PLUS Photoplotter is a stand-alone system that can fabricate plastic masks for photolithography and microfluidics through a high resolution laser and photo paper.  The photoplotter is capable of writing bright and dark field masks. The photoplotter works with Gerber, Extended Gerber, Hi-Res BMP file formats. Conversions to and from these formats are also offered through LinkCADGerber2Bitmap, and Filmstar-PLUS in the cleanroom.  Files are converted from AutoCad (DXF) and L-edit (GDSII) as a VINSE staff service as part of the mask fabrication process.  All masks are printed by VINSE Cleanroom Staff unless otherwise specified.
