Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is the next step in this trend. It uses radiation of wavelength 13.5 nm, thereby offering significant potential to extend the resolution of photolithography ...

Yet the means by which these circuits have been patterned has, at least in a qualitative sense, remained the same: optical lithography. Can this phenomenal rate of increase in integration density ...

China’s imports of Dutch lithography machines have surged this year, with the first seven months already surpassing ASML Holding’s previous forecast for 2023 sales to China, according to a new ...

Nicholas Kelez, the boss of xLight, a Silicon Valley startup developing FEL-based lithography, described the technology as a more powerful and tuneable “new light bulb” that he believes can ...

It is easy to see why. The Japanese company, which makes optical equipment, claims that its “nanoimprint” lithography machine can etch the very smallest transistors used in the most advanced ...

Despite years of efforts, SMEE remains behind ASML in reliably mass producing lithography gear that can be used for processes at the 28-nanometre level and below. Netherlands-based ASML currently ...

As a leading semiconductor equipment manufacturer, its cutting-edge lithography systems are essential for producing the chips that power everything from smartphones and AI systems to advanced ...

Alternatively, advanced packaging, rather than large dies, can be used to create high-performance electronic systems. For patterning the large substrates often used for advanced packaging, direct ...

Imec has unveiled a new climate-friendly way to produce patterns on chips using lithography and etch for advanced chip factories. Leuven, Belgium-based Imec said the tech can reduce the carbon ...

"This active nature is the key to this science, and the solution required to achieve our lithography-free technology," adds Gao. "We can use it to reroute optical signals and program optical ...

Any variation can cause faults in the pattern, impacting the final semiconductor devices’ performance and consistency. Temperature control is, therefore, fundamental to lithography and overall ...
