SPIE Advanced Lithography + Patterning

February 23 - 27, 2025 | San Jose, California

Imec

Imec is present at SPIE Advance Lithography + Patterning 2024 with no less than 48 papers, of which 47 first-authored and 8 invited papers and 1 course. With these papers, imec present the progress made in EUV processes, masks, and metrology prepared for enabling High-NA EUV lithography. Other papers present findings on sustainable practices for advanced node lithography and etch related processes.

We also present 3 keynote presentations:
