k1 is process factorλ is wavelength

NA is numerical aperture

Moore’s Law drives the requirements on the optical system.

The resolution of the optical system determines theminimum feature size on a chip.

Conclusions.

Optics for EUV Lithography have evolved over three decadesto a level where excellent imaging is demonstrated.

Right now, the Starlith® 3400 Optics extends EUV Lithography to 13nm single-shot resolution with high productivity for serial production.

High-NA EUV Lithography enables further shrink for the semiconductor industry to continue Moore’s Law.
