MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canon Inc., the parent company of Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced the release of the FPA-3030i6 i-line¹ stepper, a new semiconductor lithography system for processing wafers with a diameter of 8 inches (200 mm) or smaller.

The FPA-3030i6 system employs a newly developed projection lens that works to help reduce lens aberration for high exposure dose processes² and improve productivity by shortening exposure time.

The full release from Canon Inc. can be found here.

Optional products including a wafer handling system for special substrates are available for order to meet users’ manufacturing needs for various emerging semiconductor devices including high-power and high-efficiency devices.

The FPA-3030i6 semiconductor lithography system is designed to support a wide range of device fabrication thanks to a variety of available process options for silicon, as well as sapphire and compound semiconductor materials.

Canon will offer wafer feeding options enabling handling of substrates from 2 inches (50 mm) to 8 inches (200 mm) in diameter, as well as thick, thin and warped substrate handling.
