Today's most advanced 193 nm immersion lithography systems can resolve features down to 38 nm, owing to the use of optical tricks such as off-axis illumination and water immersion projection ...

For many of these emerging applications, NIL is replacing traditional photon-based optical lithography, which is typically used to manufacture the majority of today's semiconductor devices.

However, it faces limitations such as diffraction and scattering of light, which set bounds on the minimum feature size that can be achieved. Advanced techniques like extreme ultraviolet (EUV) ...

In e-beam lithography, or EBL, shapes are drawn onto a wafer using an electron beam in a vacuum chamber. This is a slow process compared to optical lithography, as used in mass production ...

The key to these processes is lithography. Optical lithography is a photographic procedure in which a light-sensitive polymer ...

Photonics-AI connection While there remains some skepticism about the DeepSeek technology, the slumping valuations reflect ...
