An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tool using 13.4 nm radiation is being developed by a consortium of integrated circuit (IC) manufacturers to support 100 nm imaging for integrated circuit production. The 4×, 0.1 NA alpha tool has a >1 μm depth of focus, all reflective optics, a xenon laser plasma source, and robust reflective masks. The technology is expected to support feature scaling down to 30 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
