What it is

The Nikon NSR S 208 D is a semiconductor lithography stepper.[2][4]

The Nikon NSR-S208D is a deep ultraviolet scanner for KrF lithography, and it is a 248 nm system for 110 nm devices and sub-critical 90 nm layers.[1]

How it works

The Nikon NSR-S208D uses 248 nm exposure, a 0.82 lens numerical aperture, and a 1/4 reduction ratio.[1]

The Nikon NSR-S208D has a 26 by 33 mm exposure area and is configured for 200 mm and 300 mm wafers.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography stepper sits in the front end of pattern formation, after resist coating and before etch, implant, or deposition steps that copy the printed pattern into the wafer.

Applications

The Nikon NSR-S208D is intended for volume KrF applications, 110 nm devices, and sub-critical 90 nm layers.[1]
