What it is

The Canon FPA 5500 iZa is a lithography scanner used in semiconductor manufacturing.[1][5][4][6][3]

The Canon FPA 5500 iZa is an i-line stepper used for semiconductor lithography.[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography scanner exposes a wafer through a reticle pattern and transfers that pattern onto photoresist.

An i-line system uses deep ultraviolet illumination near the i-line mercury wavelength for pattern exposure.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Canon FPA 5500 iZa belongs in the front-end lithography module of a semiconductor fab.

The Canon FPA 5500 iZa is used after resist coating and prior to development and later etch or implantation pattern transfer steps.
