UrduMeasuring computer chips to identify defects during manufacturing is crucial to improve production yield. Scientists from Delft and Utrecht investigated a novel imaging technique using EUV light—a high-energy short-wavelength radiation—to examine the 3D nanoscale structures on the chips. This technique eliminates the need to use any imaging system containing expensive EUV reflective mirrors in the measurement tool. Instead, images are reconstructed computationally from acquired diffraction data, resulting in a significant cost reduction.

How Scientists Are Accelerating Next-Gen Microelectronics
In a new Q&A, microelectronics expert and CHiPPS Director Ricardo Ruiz shares his perspective on keeping pace with Moore’s Law in the decades to come through a revolutionary technique called extreme ultraviolet lithography.
Next-Gen Semiconductor Manufacturing Tech Wins DOE National Pitch Competition
A process for making hybrid organic-inorganic materials (photoresists) sensitive to extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) light is one of two technologies that won the 2021 National Labs Accelerator Pitch Event. This technology—developed at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory—could be used for next-generation semiconductor manufacturing by EUV lithography.
