What it is

The Canon FP 6000 ES 6 KrF is a lithography scanner.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography system transfers a patterned image onto a photoresist-coated wafer.

The exposed resist is developed to create a pattern that guides later fabrication steps.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Lithography is used in the front-end patterning flow after wafer preparation and before downstream steps that act on the developed resist pattern.

The patterned resist image defines where material will be removed, added, or modified later in the process.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Lithography tools form patterned features for circuit elements and other microfabricated structures on a substrate.

KrF lithography systems are used for photolithographic pattern transfer in semiconductor manufacturing.
