What it is

The Hitachi HL 8000 M E-Beam Lithography is a lithography tool in the Hitachi HL 8000 M family.[3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

An e-beam lithography system forms patterns by directing a focused electron beam onto a resist-coated surface.

A lithography tool of this class supports pattern writing for semiconductor or mask-making workflows rather than direct device operation.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

An e-beam lithography tool sits early in a lithography flow, after substrate preparation and resist coating, and before development and later transfer steps.

The tool is used where mask or wafer pattern definition needs high placement control and direct-write patterning.

Applications

The six-inch reticle mask line indicates use in mask-related patterning work.[1][2]
