What it is

The Ultratech XLS 7800 is a lithography stepper used for wafer exposure in semiconductor processing.[3][4][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper transfers a patterned image from a reticle to photoresist on a wafer by repeated exposure fields.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper sits in the patterning portion of the wafer fabrication flow between resist coating and later development, etch, or deposition transfer steps.

Applications

The Ultratech XLS 7800 is used for semiconductor lithography on silicon wafers.[4]

The XLS 7800 is a DUV exposure tool in the 248 nm band.[1][2]
