What it is

The Nikon NSR 2205 i 10 D i-Line is a lithography stepper.[1][2]

The Nikon NSR 2205 i 10 D i-Line is an i-line stepper for six-inch and eight-inch wafers.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A stepper transfers a reticle pattern onto a photosensitive wafer surface through repeated exposures of small fields.

An i-line lithography tool uses near-ultraviolet exposure for pattern transfer in mature-node semiconductor fabrication.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Nikon NSR 2205 i 10 D i-Line sits in the photolithography stage of wafer processing.

The Nikon NSR 2205 i 10 D i-Line is used after resist coating and before resist development and subsequent pattern-transfer steps.

Applications

The Nikon NSR 2205 i 10 D i-Line is used for semiconductor patterning on six-inch and eight-inch wafers.[1][2]
