The Nikon NSR 2005 G 8 C is a G-line stepper for semiconductor lithography. The Nikon NSR 2005 G 8 C was introduced in 1991.[1]
What it is
The Nikon NSR 2005 G 8 C is a G-line stepper used in photolithography for semiconductor manufacturing.[1][2]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedG-line steppers expose a photoresist-coated wafer by projecting the image of a mask onto the wafer.
The tool projects the mask pattern through a lens, stepping the wafer stage from one exposure field to the next.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn the fab, this stepper exposes the photoresist layer, which is later developed and etched to transfer circuit patterns onto the wafer.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedG-line steppers are generally used for fabricating integrated circuits and other microdevices where the feature sizes are not extremely small.
The tool is suited for production runs that require repetitive printing of the same mask pattern across a wafer.
