In this seminar, ASML and imec reflect on some of the technical challenges they faced and the perseverance needed to develop Extreme Ultra Violet (EUV) lithography. Additionally, both organizations provide insights on the future of EUV lithography.
It has taken more than 20 years to go from the initial concept of EUV lithography to high-volume manufacturing. IPCEI funding and related European collaborations have played, and continue to play, an integral role in the development of next-generation semiconductors, which are crucial in keeping Mooreโs Law alive.
Agenda Overview
This seminar will provide valuable insights into the evolution of EUV lithography, the challenges overcome, and how collaboration drives the future of semiconductor technology.
