Lithography is one of the key technologies that restrict the development of the semiconductor industry and its important role continues to be highlighted. This paper will review laser projection lithography and laser maskless lithography based on the theoretical knowledge of laser lithography, present the advantages of laser maskless lithography, discuss the latest progress of laser lithography in application fields, explore its development prospects and trends, and provide some ideas and inspiration for the further development of human laser lithography. The result shows that laser lithography can be used in the field of material processing, and lithography is one of the key technologies to fabricate semiconductor devices. The world’s most advanced lithography machine is the EUV lithography machine of the Dutch ASML. This EUV lithography machine can be used for the production of 5nm chips, so 5nm is the most advanced chip manufacturing process that EUV lithography machine can achieve. Since lithography is a high degree of composite technology, each component plays an irreplaceable role. Therefore, if further improvements are to be made to the chip process, researchers should look at all parts of the exposure system, photoresist and process technology to make them work together in harmony.
