Abstract
The increased density of today's VLSI circuits requires a tighter control at all semi-conductor processing parameters. Included is the need for improved lithography. This paper describes a new 1:1 projection mask aligner that uses ring-field reflective optics. Described are the improvements made in the optical design and fabrication, temperature control, vibration and alignment systems all of which are required to achieve a 2-micrometer production performance. The results of the improvements are presented in terms of lithography on resist-coated silicon wafers.
