What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedHow it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA stepper exposes one field at a time by imaging a reticle pattern through projection optics onto resist on the wafer. The wafer stage then moves to the next exposure position so the pattern can be repeated across the wafer.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedLithography steppers are used after wafer preparation, film deposition, and photoresist coating, and after the mask layer for that process step has been prepared. After exposure, wafers typically proceed to resist development and then to pattern transfer steps such as etch or implantation, followed by resist removal and metrology.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedLithography steppers are used to define circuit features for integrated device fabrication. Lithography steppers are applied to repeated patterning tasks across many process layers, including active regions, interconnect structures, and contact-related features, depending on the process design and mask set.
