What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA lithography stepper exposes a photosensitive coating on a wafer through a patterned optical system, transferring circuit patterns in repeated fields across the substrate. In this class of equipment, precise stage motion, optical alignment, and controlled exposure are used to define fine features before later etch and deposition steps.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA lithography stepper sits in the front-end patterning flow, after wafer preparation and resist coating and before development and downstream pattern transfer. It is used to place the image that guides subsequent fabrication steps.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThis type of equipment is used for integrated-circuit patterning on semiconductor wafers, where repeated exposure fields define device geometries across the wafer.
