What it is

The Canon FPA 3000 iW Fine Pattern is a lithography aligner used in semiconductor manufacturing.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography aligner exposes photosensitive material through a patterned mask while aligning the workpiece to existing features. In this class of equipment, the optical system transfers the mask pattern onto the coated substrate so later process steps can define smaller structures with controlled registration.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography aligner sits in the patterning flow of semiconductor fabrication, after a substrate has been prepared with photosensitive coating and before the exposed image is developed and transferred into underlying layers. It supports repeated pattern-definition steps during device fabrication.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

This class of equipment is used for photolithographic patterning in semiconductor and related microfabrication processes. It is suited to creating aligned image features on coated substrates for subsequent etch, deposition, or implantation steps.
