This is then placed in a part of the stepper called the wafer loader, usually located at the lower front of the stepper.

This is accomplished by moving the wafer back and forth and left and right under the lens of the stepper.

The stepper gets its name from the fact that it moves or steps the wafer from one shot location to another.

Previous generations of photolithographic equipment would expose the entire wafer, all at once a stepper, working on a limited area, is capable of higher resolution.

A stepper is a device used in the manufacture of integrated circuits (ICs) that is similar in operation to a slide projector or a photographic enlarger.

The wafer is then cleaned, recoated with photoresist, then passed through the stepper again in a process that creates the circuit on the silicon, layer by layer.

A variety of reticles, each appropriate for one stage in the process, are contained in a rack in the reticle loader, usually located at the upper front of the stepper.

When the wafer is processed in the stepper, the pattern on the reticle (which may contain a number of individual chip patterns) is exposed repeatedly across the surface of the wafer in a grid.

First of all, there was a lot of new manufacturing techniques, not to mention really cheap miniature motors brushless motors, servo motors, stepper motors, that are used in printers and scanners and things like that.

Although fluoride (F2) lasers are available that produce 157 nm light, they are not practical because of their low power and because they quickly degrade the materials used to make the lenses in the stepper.

The components of the stepper are contained in a sealed chamber that is maintained at a precise temperature to prevent distortions in the printed patterns that might be caused by expansion or contraction of the wafer due to temperature variations.

The ability of an exposure system, such as a stepper, to resolve narrow lines is limited by the wavelength of the light used for illumination, the ability of the lens to capture light (or actually orders of diffraction) coming at increasingly wider angles (called numerical aperture or N.A.
