Abstract
As the drive towards increased production of VLSI type devices continues, integrated circuit fabrication has become increasingly dependent on stepper technology to meet the demands for denser geometries, smaller critical dimensions, and tighter registration tolerances. This technology is based on repetitively exposing the wafers in a field-by-field manner using a reticle which is either a single or multi-die IC pattern. This technology differs from that of the 1X projection aligner in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between the mask and the imaged wafer.
