What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Nikon 1505 G 6 E is a lithography stepper used for photomask-based wafer pattern transfer.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Nikon 1505 G 6 E sits in the photolithography module after resist coating and before resist development. The tool exposes the resist through a mask so that later process steps can create the intended feature pattern in the resist film.
