What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Lithography steppers project a patterned reticle image onto photoresist-coated wafers. Lithography steppers are core patterning tools in semiconductor manufacturing.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Stepper and scanner lithography tools transfer reticle patterns into resist by exposing one field at a time across the wafer. Scanner architectures typically combine projection optics with controlled stage motion so that successive die sites can be aligned and exposed with tight registration.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Lithography tools are used after wafer preparation, film formation, and photoresist coating, and before development, pattern transfer, and resist stripping. Lithography exposure defines the pattern that later etch or implant steps will follow.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

KrF lithography tools are used to print critical device patterns in semiconductor process flows. Lithography exposure can be applied to layers that require precise imaging and overlay so that later process steps reproduce the intended circuit geometry.
