On the lithography floor, the bake step isn’t just a pause—it’s a hard boundary in the process. If your soft bake temperature drifts, you’ll see it...

On the lithography floor, you know how it is. A soft bake that drifts even half a degree can throw your linewidths off. A hard bake that runs too hot...

On the fab floor, yield is won or lost in degrees and nanometers. A soft bake that drifts half a degree can kick off a line-width excursion, and a...
