PAS 5500/750F
DUV Step and Scan
Description
The PAS 5500/750F DUV Step-and-Scan system enables 130-nm mass production using mature
248-nm KrF technology. It combines the imaging power of the improved 0.7 NA 4x reduction
lens with the latest multi-spot innovations in the leveling system and the AERIAL II illumination
technology including QUASAR, multipole illumination and optional multiple exposure capability.
The system is equipped with both TTL alignment and ATHENA for improved alignment accuracy on
backend process layers, providing a long term single machine overlay of less than 25 nm.
Further reduction of overhead times in combination with enhancements in productivity on customer
jobs provide a production throughput of 130 200-mm wph.
The application of a 2 kHz 20W KrF laser with Variable laser Frequency Control results in the lowest
possible Cost of Operation.
