What it is

The Ultratech Spectrum 3 e is a stepper.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A stepper exposes a wafer by repeating a projection step across its surface, using a reticle and a reduction or unit-magnification lens system to image the pattern.

The substrate is positioned on a precision stage that moves between exposures, and an alignment system registers each field to previous layers.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The stepper is used after the wafer has been coated with photoresist and before the resist is developed.

After exposure, the wafer moves to a develop module, then to etch or ion-implant steps for pattern transfer.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Steppers are employed in semiconductor manufacturing to define transistor and interconnect features at the required critical dimensions.

Advanced packaging, microelectromechanical systems, and other micro-fabrication flows also use steppers for high-resolution patterning on a variety of substrate sizes.
