What it is

The Nikon NSR S 208 D KrF is a semiconductor lithography scanner.[4][3][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A mask aligner or scanner in this class transfers circuit patterns from a photomask onto a photoresist-coated wafer using projection optics and controlled exposure.

A scanner in this class steps the exposure field across the wafer rather than exposing the full wafer at once.

Where it fits in the process flow

The Nikon NSR S 208 D is positioned for volume production of integrated circuit layers at the lithography step.[1]

Applications

The Nikon NSR S 208 D is used for volume production of semiconductor device layers.[1]

The Nikon NSR S 208 D is targeted for 110 nm devices and sub-critical 90 nm layers.[1]
