The completely revised Third Edition to the bestselling Microlithography: Science and Technology provides a balanced treatment of theoretical and operational considerations, from fundamental principles to advanced topics of nanoscale lithography. The book is divided into chapters covering all important aspects related to the imaging, materials, and processes that have been necessary to drive semiconductor lithography toward nanometer-scale generations. Renowned experts from the worlds' leading academic and industrial organizations have provided in-depth coverage of the technologies involved in optical, deep-ultraviolet (DUV), immersion, multiple patterning, extreme-ultraviolet (EUV), maskless, nanoimprint, and directed self-assembly lithography, together with comprehensive descriptions of the advanced materials and processes involved.

New in the Third Edition

In addition the full revision of existing chapters, this new Third Edition features coverage of the technologies that have emerged over the past several years including multiple patterning lithography, design for manufacturing, design process technology co-optimization, maskless lithography, and directed self-assembly. New advances in lithography modelling are covered as well as fully updated information detailing the new technologies, systems, materials, and processes for optical UV, DUV, immersion, and EUV lithography.

The Third Edition of Microlithography: Science and Technology authoritatively covers the science and engineering involved in the latest generations of microlithography and looks ahead to the future systems and technologies that will bring the next generations to fruition.

Loaded with illustrations, equations, tables, and time-saving references to the most current technology, this book is the most comprehensive and reliable source for anyone, from student to seasoned professional, looking to better understand the complex world of microlithography science and technology.
