How it works

The NSR SF 130 is built on Nikon's stepper platform with precision optics optimized for i-line lithography. The system uses high-quality projection lenses to ensure uniform illumination and critical dimension control. The wafer stage incorporates interferometer-based positioning for sub-micron alignment accuracy. Automation features include motorized reticle loaders, wafer handling robots, and SMIF pods for particle-free transport. The control electronics run proprietary Nikon software for recipe management and diagnostics.[1]
