Used ASML PAS 5500 / 60 #9275776 for sale

ASML PAS 5500 / 60 is a high-resolution wafer stepper used in the manufacture of semiconductor integrated circuits. It is designed to make the precision lithography process more efficient by reducing the exposure time for each wafer. The stepper works by projecting a pattern of light onto the wafer's surface in order to etch out the required shapes. ASML PAS 5500/60 is an advanced 6-axis, high-resolution chemical projection stepper. Equipped with state-of-the-art optics and scanning technology, the stepper features a wide range of feature sizes and process capabilities. Its geometry is optimized for high throughput and repeatable performance, enabling fast lithographic cycles without sacrificing quality. PAS 5500 / 60 stepper features a three-mirror imaging system which produces highly accurate images of the desired pattern on the wafer surface. By accurately placing these images in specified locations on the wafer, the stepper can etch out very precise features, such as transistor gates, in the desired shapes. PAS 5500/60 also comes equipped with advanced automation and control systems. This ensures that the alignment and positioning of the wafer within the stepper is firm and consistent. In addition, the stepper utilizes sophisticated heat management techniques to maintain a constant temperature throughout its operation, resulting in the most reliable and accurate lithography processes. ASML PAS 5500 / 60 is suitable for high-volume production in semiconductor wafer manufacturing, as it can support a wide range of process requirements. Its high-resolution optics and automated control systems ensure that every exposure is as accurate and clean as possible, reducing the need for rework. Finally, the stepper's wide exposure range and options for faster wafer scanning make it a powerful and cost-effective choice for industrial-scale lithography applications.
