Scientists are building the world's most advanced extreme-ultraviolet microscope to study and design the photolithography masks, materials, patterns, and architectures essential to the next generation ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JEOL Ltd. (TOKYO:6951) (President & COO Izumi Oi) announced that it has developed semi-in-lens versions (i)/(is) which are optimal for the observation of semiconductor devices ...

For decades, optical microscopy has been restricted by diffraction limits, making it difficult to resolve nanostructures. Electron microscopy (EM) is the current standard for high-resolution imaging, ...

Researchers have proposed a new method to form an electron lens that will help reduce installation costs for electron microscopes with atomic resolution, proliferating their use. Instead of the ...

The first reflection microscope to use an EUV laser illumination source could provide chip manufacturers with a rapid, on-site method for inspecting lithography masks. A tabletop extreme ultraviolet ...

Researchers have created the first ultrathin, flat lens able to focus light just as well as its curved counterparts, potentially enabling big breakthroughs in camera and microscope technology. "These ...

Rolls of a new material could be used to upgrade conventional light microscopes, allowing them to image objects usually only visible to electron microscopes. If it can be made to perform as predicted, ...

In the electronics and semiconductor industry, the trend over many decades has been to miniaturise components to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for wearable and mobile devices that have far more ...
