What it is

The Nikon NSR-1505G4 is a photolithography wafer stepper.[1][2][3]

The Nikon NSR-1505G4 uses g-line UV exposure, 5x reduction, 5-inch reticles, and 4-inch wafers.[1][2][3]

How it works

The Nikon NSR-1505G4 operates with g-line UV exposure and 5x reduction between the reticle and the wafer.[1][2][3]

The Nikon NSR-1505G4 provides better than 750 nm resolution and better than 150 nm alignment.[1][2][3]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wafer stepper belongs in the photolithography portion of a semiconductor process flow.

The Nikon NSR-1505G4 is used to transfer patterned features onto wafers after resist coating and before later pattern-transfer steps such as etching or lift-off.

Applications

The Nikon NSR-1505G4 is used for photolithography on 4-inch wafers.[1][2][3]
