Application-Specific Lithography: Avoiding Stochastic Defects and Image Imbalance in 6-Track Cells

Application-Specific Lithography: Avoiding Stochastic Defects and Image Imbalance in 6-Track Cells
by Fred Chen on 02-07-2024 at 6:00 am

Application Specific Lithography

The discussion of any particular lithographic application often refers to imaging a single pitch, e.g., 30 nm pitch for a 5nm-family track metal scenario. However, it is always necessary to confirm the selected patterning techniques on the actual use case. The 7nm, 5nm, or 3nm 6-track cell has four minimum pitch tracks, flanked… Read More

A recent TechSpot article suggests that Apple is moving cautiously towards release of some kind of generative AI, possibly with iOS 18 and A17 Pro. This is interesting not just for Apple users like me but also for broader validation of a real mobile opportunity for generative AI. Which honestly had not seemed like a given, for multiple… Read More
