Imagine a master artist, meticulously sketching designs onto a canvas. In semiconductor fabrication, this canvas is a silicon wafer, and the artist’s tool is light. Lithography involves projecting light through a mask, a stencil of the desired circuit pattern, onto a photosensitive layer atop the wafer. This process engraves the intricate pathways that allow electrons to dance through microchips, powering our devices. The wavelength challenge: pushing the boundaries Traditionally, Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lithography, using light with a 193-nanometer wavelength, was the industry standard. However, as the demand for smaller, more powerful chips grew, DUV reached its physical limits. It’s akin…
