What it is

The ASML Twinscan XT 1700 Fi ArF is a lithography scanner.[1][2]

The ASML Twinscan XT 1700 Fi ArF is configured for twelve-inch wafers and uses a Cymer XLA 360 excimer laser.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A lithography scanner transfers a patterned image onto photoresist-coated wafers by exposing the resist through an optical imaging system.

An ArF scanner uses deep-ultraviolet argon-fluoride laser light as the exposure source.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The ASML Twinscan XT 1700 Fi ArF sits in the front-end patterning flow where circuit patterns are printed onto wafers before etch and other downstream pattern-transfer steps.

The ASML Twinscan XT 1700 Fi ArF is used after wafer preparation and photoresist coating and before resist development and subsequent pattern transfer.

Applications

The ASML Twinscan XT 1700 Fi ArF is used for semiconductor photolithography on large silicon wafers.[1][2]
