What it is

The Nikon NSR 1505 G 6 E is a lithography stepper.[2][1]

The Nikon NSR 1505 G 6 E is a six-inch wafer tool.[2][1]

The Nikon NSR 1505 G 6 E is a G-line system.[2][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper transfers a circuit pattern from a mask onto a photosensitive coating on a wafer by projecting light through optical reduction and then repeating the exposure field across the wafer.

A G-line lithography stepper uses near-ultraviolet mercury lamp exposure and is used for mature-node patterning where the feature set matches the optical capability of the tool class.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper sits in the patterning sequence after wafer preparation and photoresist coating.

A lithography stepper operates before development and downstream etch or deposition transfer steps.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper is used for repeated exposure of patterned layers in semiconductor manufacturing.

A G-line stepper is used for mature-node integrated circuit fabrication and other wafer patterning tasks that do not require the finest optical resolution.
