Abstract

The present disclosure provides one embodiment of a lithography system for integrated circuit making. The system includes a substrate stage designed to secure a substrate and being operable to move the substrate; an alignment module that includes a tunable light source being operable to generate an infrared light with a wavelength tunable; and a detector to receive the light; and an exposing module integrated with the alignment module and designed to performing an exposing process to a resist layer coated on the substrate.
