One of the most complex parts of this process is lithography: the step in which shapes are drawn onto a silicon wafer. There are several ways to do this, all of them rather complicated ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many conclude from this that China could soon be producing chips using highly complex extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology. This would be a huge success for the country, as so far only ...

What is Block Copolymer Lithography? Block copolymer lithography is a nanofabrication technique that utilizes the self-assembly properties of block copolymers to create ordered nanostructures. Block ...

Soft lithography is a family of non-photolithographic techniques used for fabricating micro- and nanostructures using elastomeric stamps, molds, and conformable photomasks. Unlike conventional ...

Delft, The Netherlands / Hsinchu, Taiwan -- Ocotober 13, 2008 -- MAPPER Lithography and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) signed an agreement, according to which MAPPER will ship its ...
