developed to be used in technical education institutions that will improve the quality of education in
the field of electrical and electronic engineering. Compared with other exposures system such as
filament and metal, the resulting UV LEDs system exposure is much cheaper, does not require
complex infrastructure to operate and offers full flexibility in exposure parameters [8]. The system is
portable, compact, offering low voltage DC operation and can be used in any suitable location.
Reduced system costs and complexity make UV LED photolithography as the perfect equipment for
microfibrating applications by producing patterns in varying distances according to the thickness of
the film used. This low cost UV LED exposure system has been realized and shows excellent results
especially for technical Education. Using UV LEDs the cost should be reduced 2 times of the current
cost compare to conversional equipment.
