<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6 kHz Excimer Laser for Hyper N.A. Immersion Lithography Tools</h2>



<p><em>6 kHz Excimer Laser Supporting Immersion Lithography Tools with N.A. of 1.3 or more</em></p>



<p>Less than a year after we began mass-production and shipment of the GT60A, Gigaphoton has successfully developed the GT61A. Model GT61A offers a 30% improvement of spectral bandwidth (E95%) from that of the GT60A as well as a longer laser chamber life to reduce both downtime and maintenance cost. The GT61A, the third-generation model of the GT series, features the same injection-locking platform as that used by models GT40A and GT60A, which already have been accepted by major users in the global semiconductor industry. The design concept and reliability of the GT series are highly acclaimed in the industry. Because it is based on the same platform, the GT61A maximizes standardization and enables the use of common components, thereby ensuring that users can achieve high reliability right from the outset.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Features</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><strong>Improved Spectrum Performance</strong></strong></h4>



<p>Improving on the GT60A, which achieved a spectral bandwidth (E95%) of 0.5 pm, the GT61A reaches a spectral bandwidth of 0.35 pm. In addition, a newly developed high-precision measuring instrument and stabilization mechanism are provided as a standard feature, allowing highly stable spectrum performance throughout the entire life time. The GT61A represents a great contribution to the stability of the lithography process.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><strong>High Reliability and High Stability</strong></strong></h4>



<p>With its lengthened laser chamber life, the GT61A enabled a reduction of down time for maintenance as well as reduced maintenance cost. A major advantage of the GT series is the ease of module replacement and serviceability, ensuring the high reliability and high uptime essential in today’s semiconductor fabs. The GT61A leverages the same platform as that of the GT40A/GT60A, thereby maximizing standardization as well as enabling the use of common components to ensure high reliability even from the beginning of its introduction.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GT63A Main Features &#8211;&nbsp;Four “s” Series Functions</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">sMPL</h4>



<p>The sMPL technology for focus drilling increases laser spectrum control width to a level 10 times that of conventional technology, thus creating a greater depth of focus. Focus drilling enables expansion of the lithography process window for contact holes, trenches and vias that is not possible with conventional technology, while avoiding negative effects on critical dimension uniformity (CDU), overlay and productivity. The sMPL technology was tested in a high-volume manufacturing environment in partnership with a leading scanner manufacturer and device manufacturer.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">sGRYCOS</h4>



<p>The enhanced sGRYCOS technology extends the effective life of a laser chamber — one of the main consumable components of an excimer laser — to 1.5 times longer than any conventional chamber today, offering world-class endurance that significantly reduces factory operating costs. This durability results from increasing the strength of the pre-ionization &nbsp;in a newly developed chamber and uses a robust pulse-power supply for today’s and tomorrow’s power requirements.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">sTGM</h4>



<p>The sTGM technology implements an innovative wavelength calibration method to eliminate the previous need to routinely replace the laser chamber’s gas. This new industry standard completely eliminates wasted process gases based on calibration requirements, thereby measurably reducing facility costs and improving laser availability on an annual basis. This unique gas management technology allows for system calibration of laser wavelength “as-is” without replacement of the laser chamber’s gas, a first-of-its-kind capability.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">sMONITORING</h4>



<p>The sMONITORING technology, an extension of existing real-time monitoring of laser performance, can be connected with the end-user’s FDC (Fault Detection and Classification) system to monitor system operation. It is a final check on highly stable laser output to the scanner and on-wafer performance.</p>

<p>The GT62A features a newly developed power supply that enables high output of 90 watts (a 50% improvement compared with model GT61A). The light source also is mounted with a technology to take measures against the heat load, which increases as the output increases. It also has newly developed, highly durable optics to ensure high performance reliability even during high-output operation. The GT62A comes with Gigaphoton’s original “Bandwidth Control Module (BCM)” technology as standard to provide a stabilized spectrum.<br>In order to meet a variety of customer needs, a 60-W version of the GT62A also is available. This version allows operation at the 60-watt mode at less cost, but can be upgraded to 90-watt mode when ready to scale; this flexibility enables the return on investment to be maximized.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cost Savings</strong></h4>



<p>Today, semiconductor equipment has rapidly progressed to demonstrate higher performance and higher throughput. Gigaphoton is committed to ensuring that its lasers deliver high uptime over a long period of time in order to enhance customer fab productivity. The GT62A incorporates technologies that can reduce downtime caused by gas refill to one-tenth that of the previous GT series models; it enables longer life of the laser chamber and optics — ultimately reducing maintenance downtime and costs.</p>

The design concept and reliability of the GT40A are highly acclaimed in the industry, and because the GT60A is based on the same platform to maximize standardization as well as enable the use of common components, thereby ensuring users to achieve high reliability right from the onset.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Features</h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>High Output and High Repetition Rate</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></h4>



<p>Improving on the GT40A, which achieved a repetition rate of 4,000 Hz, the GT60A reaches a repetition rate of 6,000 Hz on the same platform through greatly enhanced efficiency. This improvement enables an output level of that is more than 33% higher than the GT40A, while limiting the energy per pulse. While the GT60A features output and repetition frequency enhancements, the laser’s spectral performance supports the resolution of lithography tools at the same level as the GT40A.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><strong><strong><strong>High Reliability and High Stability</strong></strong></strong></strong></h4>



<p>The GT60A leverages the same platform as that of the GT40A—maximizing standardization as well as enabling the use of common components for ensuring high reliability. In addition to its advanced self-diagnostic function, the GT60A features a variety of functions to enhance system availability. One of the major advantages of the GT series is the ease of module replacement and serviceability, which ensures the high reliability and high uptime essential in today’s semiconductor fabs.</p>
