What it is

The ASML Twinscan XT 400 F i-Line is a scanner designed for 12-inch (300 mm) wafer processing.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

In a step-and-scan architecture, the reticle and wafer move in opposite directions during exposure, allowing a small slit-shaped image to traverse the entire field. The i-line wavelength provides adequate resolution for many mature-node layers. The dual-stage (Twinscan) platform enables simultaneous wafer alignment and exposure, increasing throughput.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

i-line scanners are typically used for non-critical lithography layers where the resolution requirements are relaxed compared to deep-UV tools. The system is positioned between resist coating and developing tracks in the photolithography module and is used for a wide range of layers in both front-end-of-line and back-end-of-line processing.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Applications include production of logic and memory devices at mature nodes, as well as specialty technologies such as MEMS, power semiconductors, and image sensors. The i-line wavelength is also suitable for thick-resist processes used in packaging and bumping applications.
