Applied Materials, Inc. introduced a new eBeam metrology system specifically designed to precisely measure the critical dimensions of semiconductor device features patterned with EUV and emerging High-NA EUV lithography. Chipmakers use CD-SEMs (critical dimension scanning electron microscopes) to take sub-nanometer measurements of patterns once a lithography scanner transfers them from a mask to a photoresist. These measurements continuously calibrate lithography process performance to ensure...
