Lithography equipment, as a projection exposure
system, is the core equipment in semiconductor manufacturing processes. It
utilizes components such as ultraviolet light sources, optical lenses, and
alignment systems to accurately project patterns onto silicon wafers, thus
completing the manufacturing of integrated circuits. The performance of
lithography equipment directly determines the accuracy, chip power consumption,
and performance of semiconductor circuits, and is an indispensable part of the
semiconductor industry.
