Nikon continues to expand a vast portfolio of lithography systems to deliver maximized productivity, superior technology, and low cost of ownership for chipmakers. The diverse needs of today’s semiconductor manufacturers are met with the NSR-SF155 i-line wide-field stepper coupled with ultra-high productivity NSR-S322F and NSR-S220D scanners that are used to satisfy the aggressive requirements of advanced dry ArF and KrF processes.
The most demanding process layers require immersion technology and incorporate multiple patterning. The industry-leading NSR-S635E immersion scanner ensures world-class device patterning and optimum fab productivity to fully satisfy real-world 5 nm node requirements. It is integrated with the pioneering inline Alignment Station (iAS). iAS capabilities can be extended to other scanners in the fab with the LithoBooster Standalone Alignment Station. In addition to delivering shot-by-shot feed forward corrections, LithoBooster provides an open platform for expanded overlay, autofocus, and process control solutions as well. Nikon also offers a line-up of advanced semiconductor inspection equipment including OPTISTATION and Automated Macro Inspection (AMI) systems.
Nikon has also been actively developing lithography and metrology solutions for MEMS, LED, and packaging applications. The specialized MEMS lithography solutions deliver maximum stepper yield at the lowest possible cost. They deliver large depth of focus and backside alignment capabilities that are vital in these growing markets.
