Board of directors

Diploma in Physics at Würzburg University in 1971 and his Ph.D. from the Technical University of Munich in 1977.
He has been with Karl Suss since 1977 where he developed diffraction-reducing exposure optics for proximity lithography. He introduced mid-UV and deep-UV systems and presented the first excimer laser exposure system in 1984.
After several years of development in x-ray lithography, he worked in high aspect ratio thick resist applications for MEMS/MST and bump / interconnect technology.
Dr. Elmar Cullmann is chief scientist of SUSS MicroTec in Munich (FRG).
