Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) lithography: Going beyond 2nm

Producing the world's most complex and advanced semiconductors isn't rocket science; it's far more difficult and getting tougher. For example, today's most advanced AI devices are made using a 5nm process. 5nm, which in layperson's terms, is equivalent in size to two DNA strands. Imagine somehow placing billions of strands of DNA in an exact and elaborate pattern, 100 layers high, in an area that's the size of a thumbnail. In short, that is the challenge semiconductor manufacturers face when producing the most advanced AI chips.
Production of today's most advanced chips uses a cutting-edge technology called: Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography, or EUV. Listen in as Mr. Toshimichi Iwai, Senior Vice President of E-Beam Lithography at Advantest's R&D facility in Saitama, Japan, explains the history and importance of lithography in semiconductor manufacturing and the vital role that Advantest plays in enabling next-generation semiconductor devices.

KEITH SCHAUB: In 1965, Gordon Moore proclaimed Moore's law stating that the number of transistors in dense integrated circuits doubles about every two years. This law, which is not really a law, but an observation, has largely remained true for the past 60 years but recently has run up against more formidable laws. The laws of physics. Transistors on CPUs are now just a few atoms in size, and the power and heat challenges at these atomic scales have begun to impact performanc
