February 28, 2023 7:36 AM ESTApplied Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMAT) today introduced a new eBeam metrology system specifically designed to precisely measure the critical dimensions of semiconductor device features patterned with EUV and emerging High-NA EUV lithography.
Chipmakers use CD-SEMs (critical dimension scanning electron microscopes) to take sub-nanometer measurements of patterns once a lithography scanner transfers them from a mask to a photoresist. These measurements continuously calibrate lithography process performance to ensure the patterns are correct before they are etched into the wafer. CD-SEMs are also used after etch to correlate intended patterns with on-wafer results.... More
Applied Materials unveils new chip tool to lower cost in lithography process
February 28, 2023 7:34 AM ESTBy Jane Lanhee Lee
OAKLAND, Calif. (Reuters) - Silicon Valley-based Applied Materials Inc, among the most important makers of tools for chip manufacturing, said on Tuesday it has started selling a new tool that can lower the cost of a process involving lithography.
Lithography uses light to print a pattern on the wafer, the shiny round discs used for chip making. This process can happen dozens of times per wafer. Each time, the wafer goes through a complex process of depositing material,... More
