ASML & Zeiss: Hyper NA EUV’s Depth of Field Challenge

In the relentless pursuit of smaller and more powerful semiconductors, advanced lithography techniques are paramount. ASML, a leading manufacturer of chipmaking equipment, and its optical systems partner ZEISS, have shed light on the future of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.

In a recent publication, they detailed the primary challenge facing the next generation of ‘Hyper NA EUV’ lithography machines: a significantly reduced usable depth of field.
