Results for tag: "Microlithography"

Microlithography is a key process in the semiconductor industry, used to create the intricate patterns of transistors and other components on integrated circuits. It involves the use of light to transfer a pattern from a photomask to a photosensitive material, such as a silicon wafer. This process is repeated multiple times to create the desired circuit pattern. Microlithography is used in the fabrication of a wide range of semiconductor devices, including microprocessors, memory chips, and other integrated circuits. The microlithography market is highly competitive, with a number of major players offering a range of products and services. These include ASML, Canon, Nikon, and Ultratech, which provide lithography systems, as well as materials and services. Other companies in the market include Applied Materials, KLA-Tencor, and Lam Research, which provide equipment and services for the semiconductor industry. Show Less Read more
