Used NIKON i9 #293797470 for sale

NIKON i9 is an immersion-type, high-end wafer stepper from the world's largest manufacturer of lithography equipment. This industry-leading machine is the ideal platform for advanced processes, offering superior imaging performance for challenging transistor designs. NIKON I 9 is a step above other steppers, featuring the latest generations of TTL Laser Interferometer, Integral Vibration Reduction, and Edge Enhancement technologies. I9 has a 5X5-inch work area, providing a wide range of resolutions that are ideal for backside lithography and patterning. Its superior resolution and accuracy combined with the latest wafer processing techniques, including immersion and oil-immersion, mean it can produce ultra-fine line widths of less than 0.1 micron. The integrated vibration reduction capabilities make I 9 one of the most reliable and accurate tools available on the market today. The equipment was designed with an array of advanced expandability and process control capabilities. Multiple dedicated exposure modes, such as Automatic Edge Enhancement and Automatic Laser Power Control, enable fine exposure control. This ensures that patterns are replicated accurately and quickly. The system includes an automatic exposure source shut-off feature to protect the optics from dust particles and other contaminants. NIKON i9 also features an intelligent layout unit that has been optimized for better patterning and exposure control. The exposure field can be divided into 4 to 9 smaller parts, making it easier to control various shapes, sizes and exposure recipes. An exposure field optimization tool maximizes throughput, minimizing the need for manual optimization. The software architecture of NIKON I 9 includes a powerful image generation and exposure control software, called Predictive Exposure Control (PEC). PEC simplifies wafer processing and provides built-in monitoring of all process parameters to provide quality control feedback. A flexible maintenance machine allows fast and easy repair and maintenance of the tool. I9 is a powerful and reliable wafer stepper, designed to meet the needs of advanced semiconductor processes. Its superior resolution, accuracy and expandability, combined with the latest process control tools, make it the perfect asset for backside lithography and patterning.
