EUV lithography is now used to manufacture the most advanced integrated circuits, including memory, logic and AI chips, but Moore’s Law demands constant improvements. The NXE system is our 0.33NA platform which continues to evolve with better throughput via greater EUV source power, smaller Edge Placement Errors (EPE) and higher uptime. One possibility for further EPE reduction is to increase image contrast through the use of advanced exposure methods such as Dual Monopole.
