What it is

The Canon MPA 600 FA is a 1X mirror projection auto feeder system with backside wafer handling.[1][2]

How it works

The Canon MPA 600 FA uses automatic alignment with a HeNe laser beam scanning system at 633 nm, and it supports spot beam and sheet beam alignment modes.[1][2]

The Canon MPA 600 FA uses a 2 kW high pressure mercury lamp with i-line, h-line, and g-line wavelengths.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Canon MPA 600 FA supports cassette-to-cassette operation and backside wafer handling, which places it in a production alignment and exposure flow rather than a manual contact-only workflow.[1][2]

The Canon MPA 600 FA is specified for wafer sizes of 4 inch, 5 inch, and 6 inch and mask sizes of 5 inch, 6 inch, and 7 inch.[1][2]

Applications

The Canon MPA 600 FA is specified with a 1.5 um resolution using positive resist and an accuracy of 3sigma <= .54 um.[1][2]
