Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to semiconductor technology, and in particular to photolithographic processes and devices used in the manufacture of integrated circuits. Background technique
[0002] Photolithography is one of the most important processes in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits. In the silicon wafer manufacturing process, photolithography accounts for about one-third of all costs. Generally, the number of photolithography times and the number of masks required can indicate the difficulty of the integrated circuit production process. A typical silicon integrated circuit process includes more than 15 reticles.
[0003] The main equipment used in the lithography process includes lithography machines, and its main manufacturers include ASML (ASML), NIKON (Nikon) and CANON (Canon). Among them, ASML stepper and NIKON stepper are two main semiconductor exposure equipment. There are both ASML steppers and NIKON steppers on the prod...
