Abstract

Extreme UltraViolet Lithography (EUVL), using 13.5 nm wavelength, all reflective optics and a vacuum environment, is the leading candidate to succeed immersion 193nm lithography to print features with sizes of 22 nm and below. Several major programs worldwide have matured this technology since the late 1980's. In 2006 ASML shipped the first Alpha Demo tools (NA=0.25 full field scanners) to IMEC in Belgium and CNSE in Albany, USA. Currently early production tools are being assembled. After a short introduction into IC fabrication, and the role of lithography, it will be explained why EUVL will be used to enable Moore's Law in a cost effective way. A brief history of EUVL will be followed by latest results obtained with the Alpha Demo tools. Status of the integration of the early production tools will be shared including an update on critical tool related issues including the EUV source. Finally the future technology roadmap will be shared explaining how EUVL will be stretched over multiple generations.
