Applied Materials

Lithography equipment transfers patterns onto photosensitive materials during microfabrication. Lithography tools form part of the patterning stage used to define features that later process steps will etch, implant, deposit, or otherwise modify.
Lithography equipment generally works by positioning a substrate, establishing alignment, and exposing a light sensitive layer so a pattern can be developed. Lithography systems commonly integrate handling, alignment, exposure related functions, and process control features to support repeatable pattern transfer.
Lithography tools sit in the patterning portion of a wafer process flow after film formation and photoresist coating, and before development and pattern transfer. Lithography output is typically followed by develop, inspection, and then subtractive or additive process steps that use the patterned resist as a mask.
Lithography equipment is used wherever microfabrication requires controlled image transfer into a resist layer. Lithography supports device definition for semiconductor, microsystem, and related substrate patterning processes.
