What it is

The Canon FPA 3000 EX 5 Fine Pattern Aligner is a Canon lithography aligner for semiconductor manufacturing.[1]

The Canon FPA 3000 EX 5 is a fine pattern aligner in the FPA 3000 EX family.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A mask aligner holds a photomask and a substrate in close alignment so optical exposure transfers the mask pattern onto a light-sensitive film on the substrate.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A mask aligner sits in the lithography portion of semiconductor processing, after film preparation and before etch, implantation, or other pattern transfer steps.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

A fine pattern aligner is used for photolithographic patterning in semiconductor fabrication.
