What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The ASML PAS 5500 100 D is a semiconductor lithography stepper.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper exposes a patterned image from a mask onto a photoresist-coated wafer in repeated fields across the wafer surface.

A stepper uses precision alignment, optical projection, and controlled exposure to transfer circuit patterns onto the wafer.

Where it fits in the process flow

The PAS 5500 family is a lithography platform used for wafer patterning in semiconductor manufacturing.[3]

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

A semiconductor stepper is used for pattern transfer on wafers in integrated circuit fabrication.
