As the unstoppable progression of Moore’s law has driven the semiconductor technology roadmap farther and farther below 1 µm, a steady stream of engineering marvels has been required to produce ...

The big joke about extreme ultraviolet (EUV) technology is that it takes seven trucks to deliver the mammoth tools compared to one for other advanced lithography tools — but actually, this is no joke.

In the creative, or desperate, rush to find ways to pattern 10 nm node using double patterning immersion 193nm lithography, a designer from ARM is left “crying in his beer” at the consequent design ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. &#151 Immersion lithography could be late to the market, forcing chip makers to consider 193-nm “dry” and double-exposure techniques for chip production at the 45-nm node and beyond, ...

Scanner resolution improvements have diminished since the 193-nm wavelength became commonplace. Today’s technologies are sufficient for 28-nm IC designs using immersion, but not beyond without ...
