Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography Technology Has Grown In Importance

Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV) is a method of patterning that uses extreme ultraviolet light to produce highly detailed images of surfaces. It has many applications, including manufacturing and designing of semiconductors. However, EUV lithography has limitations, it requires very good contrast, which affects the quality of the patterning. Extreme ultraviolet lithography has become a key technology in semiconductor manufacturing. The technology can print tight pitch metal lines and allow for the mass production of logic chips. In order to achieve cost efficiency and maintain pattern fidelity, the quality of resist used in this lithography process must improve.

EUV lithography is an advanced fabrication technique that uses light from a 13.5 nanometer laser to create patterns on silicon wafers. This method is used to produce nanometer-scale chips and memory chips. The process is very precise and has the ability to print very fine features on the wafer. However, it also has some limitations. Some of these include the need for a powerful light source and high throughput. The quality of the resulting image depends on several factors, including the process steps and the type of resist used. The adoption of EUV lithography technology has become crucial as semiconductor geometries continue to shrink. This is because it enables the scaling down of complex patterns on wafers by offering an ideal and effective solution for next-generation applications, such as 5G, AI, and automotive. Because the shorter wavelength of EUV light can print the nanometer-scale elements of the designs connected to the advanced processes, EUV technology enables the chip makers to continue driving chip scaling.

 

For cutting-edge logic, chipmakers rely on Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Lithography at 7nm, 5nm, and beyond because there are currently no alternative possibilities. At the 7nm and 5nm scales, the next-generation lithography technologies are not yet mature and cannot be used. Chipmakers hope to use high-NA EUV, starting at 3nm and beyond.
