Considerations For The Introduction of New EUV Resist Materials To A Fab (KU Leuven, imec)


A new technical paper titled "Process and materials compatibility considerations for introducing novel extreme ultraviolet resists in a fab: a guide for academia and entrepreneurs" was published by researchers at KU Leuven and imec. Abstract Excerpt "Despite having novel ideas, most researchers struggle to introduce their resist into an advanced fab, i.e., a facility where all the industr... » read more

Nova METRION Use Cases


Several use cases that we will explore for the Nova METRION® system include contamination control, process excursion prevention, reactor matching, and uniformity control. The objectives of these use cases are to detect contaminants which can kill devices, improve barrier layer and source/drain function, maintain deposition uniformity that impacts downstream processes, and ensure wafer-to-wafer... » read more
