Optics giant Zeiss has posted another record-breaking annual sales figure ... up 16 per cent year-on-year in real terms as the requirements of the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) systems sold to major chip ...

The EUV lithography market is expected to reach USD 22.69 billion by 2029 from USD 12.18 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 13.2% ...

Figure 2. Our EUV diffractive imaging experiment setup. A 100 W pulsed infrared (IR) drive laser generates only about 1 μW EUV radiation (10 11 EUV photons per second) at the gas jet. This ...

The main problem is that EUV radiation is absorbed by air and many other materials. This means that new optics, new masks and new techniques must be developed to use EUV lithography. It also means ...

TSMC's upcoming process technologies — N2 (2nm-class) and A16 (1.6nm-class) — will rely solely on traditional EUV equipment with optics featuring a 0.33 numerical aperture (Low-NA).
