What it is

The Canon FPA 6000 ES 5 is a lithography scanner for semiconductor manufacturing. The Canon FPA 6000 ES 5 uses KrF illumination at 248 nm. The Canon FPA 6000 ES 5 is part of the Canon FPA 6000 family.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography scanner exposes photoresist by moving the reticle image and wafer in a coordinated scan while projection optics transfer the pattern. Scanner operation generally includes wafer positioning, alignment to existing marks, exposure of each field, and stepwise repetition across the substrate.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Lithography scanners are used after wafer coating with photoresist and before development of the exposed resist image. The patterned resist produced by lithography then serves as a mask for later process steps such as etch, implant, or material deposition patterning.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Lithography scanners are used to print patterned resist layers for integrated circuit fabrication. Such tools support repeated layer-to-layer pattern transfer wherever precise overlay and optical projection are required in semiconductor processing.
