Lam Research (LRCX) has achieved a significant breakthrough in semiconductor manufacturing with its dry photoresist technology being qualified for 28nm pitch back end of line logic at 2nm and below by imec. The technology enhances extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography's resolution, productivity, and yield in next-generation semiconductor device production.
The dry resist technology provides key advantages including low-defect patterning, improved EUV sensitivity, and enhanced resolution. When paired with low NA EUV scanner at imec, the process is also extendible to high NA EUV scanner applications. Notably, the technology offers substantial sustainability benefits, consuming less energy and 5-10 times fewer raw materials compared to traditional wet chemical resist processes.
