What it is

The Canon FPA 5500 iZa i-Line Wide Field is a lithography stepper.[1][2]

The Canon FPA 5500 iZa i-Line Wide Field is part of the Canon FPA 5500 iZa model family.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper aligns a photomask to a coated wafer and projects the mask pattern onto the wafer through repeated exposure fields.

A stepper supports circuit pattern transfer by exposing photoresist in a controlled optical imaging process.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper sits in the patterning segment of semiconductor wafer fabrication.

A lithography stepper is used after wafer surface preparation and photoresist coating and before resist development and later pattern transfer steps.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper is used for wafer patterning in semiconductor manufacturing.

A lithography stepper is used to print repeating circuit features across a wafer by optical exposure.
