Abstract
PURPOSE: To provide a multi-station step and repeat device (stepper) for forming the image of a semiconductor wafer. CONSTITUTION: A stepper that has at least two stations 106 and 108 is provided, where at least one of them is used for forming an image 108. Stations other than those for forming an image can be used for measuring image field characteristics or correcting an image defect or cutting a phase shift mask(PSM) loop. A plurality of laser beams 120-134 that are directed in an orthogonally crossed direction provide monitoring by an interferometer and track a wafer position regarding a wafer on the stepper.
