What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Steppers are used in semiconductor manufacturing to project a pattern from a reticle onto a wafer in a step-and-repeat manner.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A stepper exposes a wafer by projecting an image of a single die or a small field from a photomask through a reduction lens system onto a photoresist-coated wafer.

The wafer stage then steps to the next field position, and the exposure is repeated, building up the pattern across the entire wafer.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In the semiconductor fabrication process, steppers are used in the lithography step, which occurs after a wafer has been cleaned and coated with photoresist.

After exposure, the wafer moves to a developer station where the exposed photoresist is removed, followed by etching, deposition, or other processing steps for that layer.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Steppers of this class are used for patterning critical layers in integrated circuit manufacturing, such as transistor gates and interconnect levels.
