Gigaphoton Earns Intel’s 2024 EPIC Distinguished Supplier Award


<p class="has-text-align-center">Evolutionary Immersion Lithography Lightsource Driving Lithography Performance</p>



<p>Oyama, Tochigi; March 27, 2024, <a href="https://gigaphoton.com/">Gigaphoton Inc.</a> (Head Office: Oyama, Tochigi; President and CEO: Katsumi Uranaka), a manufacturer of lightsources for semiconductor lithography, announced that &#8220;GT80A&#8221;, that is Gigaphoton&#8217;s latest ArF Immersion lithography lightsource has been shipped.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="472" height="383" src="https://webapi2.gigaphoton.global/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-8979" srcset="https://webapi2.gigaphoton.global/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-1.png 472w, https://webapi2.gigaphoton.global/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-1-300x243.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px" /></figure></div>


<p>In the manufacturing of state-of-the-art devices, high productivity is required along with the scaling. Said state-of-the-art devices must meet requirements for lithography patterns transferred to wafers, especially EPE (Edge Placement Error) and high productivity. As a lightsource, by reducing CD LER/LWR (Line Edge Roughness/Line Width Roughness), which directly affects EPE, the GT80A provides improved yield at mass production sites.</p>



<p>The new immersion lithography lightsource &#8220;GT80A&#8221; has successfully enhanced the repetition rate by 12.5% with newly developed modules. This leads to a 36% reduction in speckle contrast compared with GT65A and contributes to further reduction of LWR/CDU.&nbsp; These advancements enable further improvement on process yield and support high productivity in the production of leading-edge nodes.</p>



<p>Katsumi Uranaka, President and CEO of Gigaphoton said, &#8220;GT80A has been introduced to the semiconductor market with the goal of achieving stable and high-yield production for cutting-edge semiconductors in state-of-the-art process nodes. Gigaphoton will continue its efforts to drive innovation in semiconductor industry.&#8221;</p>
