What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper is a wafer-fabrication exposure tool used to transfer circuit patterns from a reticle or mask onto a photosensitive layer on the wafer. A stepper belongs in the front end of semiconductor patterning flow, where patterned exposure defines features before later development and etch steps.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper projects a patterned image onto selected areas of a coated wafer through an optical system. A mask aligner or stepper class machine uses light exposure to create the latent pattern in photoresist for later processing.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Lithography sits after wafer preparation and resist coating. Lithography sits before resist development, pattern transfer, and subsequent fabrication steps such as etching or deposition that follow the exposed resist image.

Applications

The Nikon NES 1 H 04 Mini is a lithography tool for 4 inch wafers. The Nikon NES 1 H 04 Mini is a Nikon-branded semiconductor exposure system.[1][2]
