What it is

The Canon FPA 3000 i 5 is a lithography stepper for semiconductor manufacturing.[3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper projects a patterned mask image onto a photosensitive wafer surface in repeated fields.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper sits in the pattern transfer stage of semiconductor front end processing.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper is used to form circuit patterns on photoresist-coated semiconductor wafers.
