Today, ASML and imec announced the next major step in their extensive collaboration, with the launch of the Advanced Patterning Center. Together they plan to tackle upcoming scaling challenges due to the chip industry's move towards single digit nanometer dimensions. The Center will be located at the imec campus in Leuven and is expected to grow to close to 100 engineers over the next couple of years.
To guarantee critical dimension uniformity and overlay control, soon to be measured in fractions of one nanometer, imec and ASML will collaborate to investigate the practical interaction between all the different steps in kis gued kbrylqroqa imumnsx.
