What it is

The Canon 5510 ix is a stepper used for lithography. The model designation is 5510 ix. The machine is also referred to as the FPA 5510 IX.^[2]^[3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

In a stepper, light from an illumination source passes through a reticle containing the circuit pattern. A projection lens reduces the image and focuses it onto the wafer. The wafer stage moves the wafer to position each die field under the lens, exposing one field at a time.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In semiconductor fabrication, the stepper is used in the lithography process sequence. After a wafer is coated with photoresist, the stepper exposes the resist with the pattern. The wafer then proceeds to development and etch. Steppers are typically used for critical layers requiring tight overlay and resolution.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Canon 5510 ix is applied in the manufacturing of integrated circuits. As an i-line stepper, it is suited for device nodes that require i-line photolithography, such as mature-node logic or memory products.
