ASML Explores Lithography Core Technology Path and Physical Limits
Summary
ASML details the core physical principle of lithography—Rayleigh criterion—revealing the resolution formula and optimization paths. Through EUV light sources, high-NA lenses, and computational lithography, it continuously pushes chip manufacturing limits.
Key Takeaways
ASML's technical column explains the Rayleigh criterion formula for lithography: Resolution = k1 * λ / NA.
Three paths to break resolution limits: reducing wavelength (λ), increasing numerical aperture (NA), optimizing process factor (k1).
