Predicting EUV Stochastic Defect Density with Electron Noise and Resist Blur Models
by Fred Chen on 11-08-2025 at 10:00 am

Predicting Stochastic EUV 1

Recently, the statistics of secondary electron noise and its impact on defect probability in EUV lithography has been directly addressed for the first time[1]. In this article, we will take into account some updated blur models for EUV resists, both of the chemically amplified (CAR) and metal oxide (MOR) types.

First, let’s review… Read More

RTL generation vs RTL Verification

I should admit up front that I don’t have a scientific answer to this comparison, but I do have a reasonably informed gut feel, at least for the near-term. The reason I ask the question is that automated RTL generation grabs headlines with visions of designing chips through natural language prompts, making design widely accessible.… Read More
