Results for tag: "Deep Ultraviolet Light Lithography"

Deep Ultraviolet Light Lithography (DUV) is a type of lithography used in the semiconductor industry to create integrated circuits. It uses ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 248nm or 193nm to transfer patterns onto a photoresist layer on a semiconductor wafer. This process is used to create the intricate patterns of transistors and other components that make up an integrated circuit. DUV lithography is a critical step in the semiconductor manufacturing process, as it allows for the creation of smaller and more complex integrated circuits. It is also used to create high-density memory chips, which are used in a variety of consumer electronics. The DUV lithography market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering their own solutions. These include ASML, Canon, Nikon, and Ultratech. Each company offers a range of products, from scanners and steppers to photomasks and resist materials. In addition, there are a number of smaller companies that specialize in specific aspects of the DUV lithography process, such as photomask fabrication and resist development. These companies include Photronics, Brewer Science, and SUSS MicroTec. Show Less Read more
