The ability to create intricate, nano-scale patterns is at the heart of nanotechnology, and lithography techniques are the tools that make this possible. From photolithography to FIB, each technique ...

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 ...

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

Russia's ZNTC and Belarus's Planar have completed the development of a 350nm-class lithography system, but despite its ...

Chinese electronics giant Huawei is testing elements for an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine at its Dongguan ...

Extreme ultraviolet lithography extends photolithography to much shorter wavelengths and is a cost-effective method of producing more-advanced integrated circuits. Although some infrastructure ...

Barring a major breakthrough in lithography, chipmakers are using today’s 193nm immersion and multiple patterning for both 16/14nm and 10nm. Now, chipmakers are focusing on the lithography options for ...

This advancement could pave the way for a new generation of 'beyond EUV' lithography systems that produce chips quicker and with less power. Of course, implementing BAT technologies into ...

Interestingly, DUV lithography at a wavelength of 193 nm has dominated the field much longer than originally expected, with a continual series of improvements prolonging its lifespan. The ...

Inspired by the idea of creating a maskless lithography system using a digital micromirror device (DMD), [Nemo Andrea] tore into an Anycubic Photon Ultra, DLP & resin-based 3D printer to take a ...

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 ...
