Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography at 13.5 nm is expected to be introduced in high-volume semiconductor chip production over the next three years. Research is now underway to investigate sub-10 ...

One of the chip industry giants just posted financial results that helped assuage the fears of many when it comes to AI ...

Canon made quite a splash last year when it introduced its first nanoimprint lithography (NIL) machine that can be used to ...

1). Figure 1: Since the mid-1980s, the wavelength of light used in lithography systems has reduced by almost half from 365 nm to 193 nm. Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is the next step in ...

EUV, extreme ultraviolet lithography, is nearly completely associated with the Dutch company ASML, the only maker of EUV machines that are used by TSMC, Intel and other chip manufacturers of advanced ...

A research partnership led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has been formed to investigate the next evolution of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. The team will participate in the ...

As the title of this post suggests, this is no longer the case. Today’s deep submicron ICs require extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light lithography, and a great deal of innovation has gone into making this ...

YOKOHAMA—After a decade of development, Canon Inc. began selling lithography equipment for semiconductor production, hoping to reclaim a share in the market. The equipment is used to print fine ...

However, since 2019, US-led sanctions have barred ASML from selling advanced EUV equipment to China, tightening restrictions further in 2024 to include EUV masks, etching machines, and other ...

Indeed, researchers from Japan have developed technology that makes EUV lithography simpler and more cost-effective. That could bring companies such as Nikon and Canon, which serve the more ...

ASML's EUV machines are more complex than ... The most advanced machines Nikon and Canon can manufacture are immersion lithography machines, which are workhorse machines that are still widely ...
