WebMay 29, 2024 · High-NA extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is going to deliver the high-volume manufacturing (HVM) patterning for sub-7 nm nodes for the semiconductor industry. One of the critical challenges is to develop suitable EUV resists at high resolution with high sensitivity and low line-edge roughness (LER). The resist performance is generally limited … WebWhile EUV systems equipped with a 0.33 Numerical Aperture (NA) lens are increasingly being applied in high volume manufacturing, ASML and ZEISS have in parallel ramped up their activities considerably on an EUV exposure tool with an NA of 0.55. The purpose of this so-called high-NA scanner, targeting an ultimate resolution of 8nm, is to

WebAug 29, 2024 · The continuation of Moore’s law demands the continuous development of EUV lithography. After the NXE:3400B scanner, currently being inserted in high-volume manufacturing (HVM), the next logical step is to increase the numerical aperture (NA) of the EUV projection optics, from 0.33 to 0.55, resulting in a high-NA EUV scanner. Looking … WebHigh-NA EUV lithography comes with a significant redesign of the optics within the scanner, allowing light with larger angles of incidence to hit the wafer – giving the system a higher resolution. At equal scanner magnification (actually, demagnification), this … greenway and perry dds
