The Semiconductor Litho State

Semiconductor lithography remains the central driver of transistor scaling, directly influencing feature size, chip density, and process node evolution. As the industry moves toward 2nm and beyond, lithography must keep pace to define smaller, more power-efficient, and high-performance devices while maintaining cost efficiency and manufacturing scalability.

This edition examines the semiconductor lithography, the primary challenges in patterning at advanced nodes, and the innovations shaping the next phase of chip manufacturing.
