It really is remarkable how our favorite tech products continue to become more compact and powerful, with today’s nanoscale chipmaking quite literally pushing the limits of what is possible. One of the extraordinary capabilities behind this ongoing device scaling is continued advances in patterning – the set of processes involved in creating the individual features on a chip. Every year, the SPIE Advanced Lithography symposium brings together leaders across the semiconductor industry to discuss the latest challenges in lithography and patterning. Being held at the San Jose Marriott and San Jose Convention Center, February 26 – March 2, 2017, the week-long event will feature seven technical conferences covering recent developments and emerging strategies for topics such as advanced patterning, new materials, and processing control.

Lam is pleased to once again sponsor the Advanced Etch Technology for Nanopatterning conference, and we will be participating in several sessions during the symposium. You can hear about some of the latest advances in patterning solutions from Lam and our collaborators at the following presentations:
