Non-Visual Defect Inspection: The Tech of Tomorrow?

By Jeff Chappell - 12 Dec, 2013 - Comments: 0

Remember when it first became obvious that the semiconductor manufacturing industry was going to expect lithography to resolve features smaller than the wavelength of light used in the litho tools themselves? Thanks to techniques such as the use of phase shift photomasks, sub-wavelength lithography is standard in chip fabs today. It might even be viewed as “old hat,” although still an ex... » read more
