The ArF excimer laser G41A/42A series allows exposure of geometries of 0.10 µm or below at lower running cost.

G41A Series
4-kHz ArF Excimer Laser for Design Rule of 0.10 µm or below

G41A Main Features

• Mounted with a newly designed solid-state pulse power supply that allows a repetition rate of 4000 Hz so as to achieve high throughput.
  
  
• High-reliability design inherited from our field-proven KrF excimer laser G10K/20K series.

G42A Series
4-kHz ArF Excimer Laser for 80-nm Technology Node

G42A Main Features

• Spectral bandwidth (FWHM) improved from 0.35 pm (G41A) to 0.3 pm to allow exposure of 80-nm geometries based on the G41A.
  
  
• Use of highly durable parts for each module to prolong the optical module life and further reduce the CoO (running cost per pulse):
      Laser chamber: Use of highly durable parts for the electrodes.
      Line-narrowing module, monitor module, etc.: Use of highly durable materials for the optics
