What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Canon FPA 2001 i 1 is an i-line stepper used for photolithography in semiconductor manufacturing.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The FPA 2001 i 1 operates on the step-and-repeat principle, projecting a reticle pattern onto a photoresist-coated wafer through a reduction lens.

After each exposure, the wafer stage moves to the next die position, and the sequence repeats.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In the lithography cell, a stepper is positioned after spin-coating and soft-bake of the photoresist, and before post-exposure bake and development.

The Canon FPA 2001 i 1 typically handles critical-layer imaging for integrated-circuit fabrication.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The primary application is patterning of semiconductor wafers for devices such as logic, memory, and analog circuits.

i-line steppers are also used in the production of microelectromechanical systems and optoelectronic components.
