Application Example
copyAGC Inc 47
As the sophistication and miniaturization of electronic devices continues to advance so does demand for faster semiconductor chip calculation speeds as well as higher capacities and more advanced integration The circuit patterns of semiconductor chips must be further miniaturized in order to achieve these goals yet with currently available optical lithography technology1 it is theoretically unrealistic to model miniaturized patterns referred to as 7nm node EUV2 optical technology is considered the most plausible technology to create such miniaturized patternsNotes1 Optical Lithography Technology The process of transferring
LSI circuit patterns to silicon wafers etc using a KrF(krypton fluoride) or ArF (argon fluoride) light source
2 EUV Extreme ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 135nm
AGC began conducting RampD on photomask blanks utilized in EUV lithography technology in 2003By combining its core technologies (ie glass materials glass processing and coatings) AGC is currently the only manufacturer in the world capable of handling every aspect of photomask blanks―from the glass material to film material

Application Example
copyAGC Inc 47
As the sophistication and miniaturization of electronic devices continues to advance so does demand for faster semiconductor chip calculation speeds as well as higher capacities and more advanced integration The circuit patterns of semiconductor chips must be further miniaturized in order to achieve these goals yet with currently available optical lithography technology1 it is theoretically unrealistic to model miniaturized patterns referred to as 7nm node EUV2 optical technology is considered the most plausible technology to create such miniaturized patternsNotes1 Optical Lithography Technology The process of transferring
LSI circuit patterns to silicon wafers etc using a KrF(krypton fluoride) or ArF (argon fluoride) light source
2 EUV Extreme ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 135nm

As the sophistication and miniaturization of electronic devices continues to advance so does demand for faster semiconductor chip calculation speeds as well as higher capacities and more advanced integration The circuit patterns of semiconductor chips must be further miniaturized in order to achieve these goals yet with currently available optical lithography technology1 it is theoretically unrealistic to model miniaturized patterns referred to as 7nm node EUV2 optical technology is considered the most plausible technology to create such miniaturized patternsNotes1 Optical Lithography Technology The process of transferring
LSI circuit patterns to silicon wafers etc using a KrF(krypton fluoride) or ArF (argon fluoride) light source

As the sophistication and miniaturization of electronic devices continues to advance so does demand for faster semiconductor chip calculation speeds as well as higher capacities and more advanced integration The circuit patterns of semiconductor chips must be further miniaturized in order to achieve these goals yet with currently available optical lithography technology1 it is theoretically unrealistic to model miniaturized patterns referred to as 7nm node EUV2 optical technology is considered the most plausible technology to create such miniaturized patternsNotes1 Optical Lithography Technology The process of transferring
LSI circuit patterns to silicon wafers etc using a KrF(krypton fluoride) or ArF (argon fluoride) light source

As the sophistication and miniaturization of electronic devices continues to advance so does demand for faster semiconductor chip calculation speeds as well as higher capacities and more advanced integration The circuit patterns of semiconductor chips must be further miniaturized in order to achieve these goals yet with currently available optical lithography technology1 it is theoretically unrealistic to model miniaturized patterns referred to as 7nm node EUV2 optical technology is considered the most plausible technology to create such miniaturized patternsNotes1 Optical Lithography Technology The process of transferring
LSI circuit patterns to silicon wafers etc using a KrF(krypton fluoride) or ArF (argon fluoride) light source

Application Example
copyAGC Inc 47
As the sophistication and miniaturization of electronic devices continues to advance so does demand for faster semiconductor chip calculation speeds as well as higher capacities and more advanced integration The circuit patterns of semiconductor chips must be further miniaturized in order to achieve these goals yet with currently available optical lithography technology1 it is theoretically unrealistic to model miniaturized patterns referred to as 7nm node EUV2 optical technology is considered the most plausible technology to create such miniaturized patternsNotes1 Optical Lithography Technology The process of transferring
LSI circuit patterns to silicon wafers etc using a KrF(krypton fluoride) or ArF (argon fluoride) light source
2 EUV Extreme ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 135nm

As the sophistication and miniaturization of electronic devices continues to advance so does demand for faster semiconductor chip calculation speeds as well as higher capacities and more advanced integration The circuit patterns of semiconductor chips must be further miniaturized in order to achieve these goals yet with currently available optical lithography technology1 it is theoretically unrealistic to model miniaturized patterns referred to as 7nm node EUV2 optical technology is considered the most plausible technology to create such miniaturized patternsNotes1 Optical Lithography Technology The process of transferring
LSI circuit patterns to silicon wafers etc using a KrF(krypton fluoride) or ArF (argon fluoride) light source
2 EUV Extreme ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength of 135nm
AGC began conducting RampD on photomask blanks utilized in EUV lithography technology in 2003By combining its core technologies (ie glass materials glass processing and coatings) AGC is currently the only manufacturer in the world capable of handling every aspect of photomask blanks―from the glass material to film material
