如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 来源:内容 编译自 NRC 。 如何粉碎一块薄饼?这个问题困扰着阿姆斯特丹纳米光刻高级研究中心 (ARCNL) 的研究员迪翁· 恩格尔斯 (Dion Engels)。 这里所说的薄饼指的是被粉碎的锡滴,它在 ASML 的光刻机中每秒被引爆五万次。这会产生等离 子体,发射出极紫外 (EUV) 光:一种极紫外辐射,将高度精细的芯片图案投射到硅片或晶圆上。 集成的晶体管越多,芯片的性能就越强。得益于 EUV 光刻机,如今用于手机或人工智能数据中心 的最先进处理器上的芯片设计线间距仅为几十纳米——百万分之一毫米。 ASML 与美国 Cymer 实验室合作研究 EUV 技术长达二十年,发现粉碎锡滴可以产生更多的 EUV 光。其结果是:生产英伟达、苹果、三星或英特尔先进芯片的机器很快就会更加高效地运转。 ASML 系统的许多基础设计都诞生于阿姆斯特丹东区的科学园。ARCNL 成立于十年前,与阿姆 斯特丹大学合作成立。其推动力来自 ASML 的技术总监兼联席总裁 Martin van den Brink,他于 去年退休。ARCNL 承担 ASML 三分之一的预算(每年约 400 万 ...

光掩模,关键挑战
半导体芯闻· 2025-05-22 10:40
如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 来源:内容来自 semiengineering ,谢谢 。 半导体工程与业内专家齐聚一堂,深入探讨了光刻技术发展中光掩模所面临的关键挑战。随着先进 光刻节点向EUV(极紫外光刻)及更远技术推进,光掩模制造已成为半导体生产中最关键且成本 最高的环节之一。与此同时,非EUV应用也在延长旧工具和工艺的寿命,这促使行业必须在这两 个 极 端 寻 找 新 的 解 决 方 案 。 参 与 本 次 对 话 的 专 家 包 括 HJL Lithography 的 首 席 光 刻 师 Harry Levinson 、 D2S 的 首 席 执 行 官 Aki Fujimura 、 美 光 的 掩 模 技 术 高 级 总 监 Ezequiel Russell 以 及 Photronics的执行副总裁兼首席技术官Christopher Progler。以下是本次对话的节选内容。 SE:目前,EUV和非EUV光刻在最前沿的掩模相关挑战是什么? Levinson: 对于EUV而言,最大的问题是成本——制造、维护和更换掩模的总费用。光掩模和 EUV掩模在其生命周期内的价格差异巨大。我认为这种情况不 ...
