The ITRS “Grand Challenges” are classified into two categories: “Enhancing Performance” and “Cost-Effective Manufacturing,” which are often translated as “faster, better, cheaper” products. To address these challenges, materials suppliers can approach them with an integrated product design methodology rather than unique products for the immediate challenges. With the continued delay of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, even more importance is placed on versatile material and process solutions designed to extend existing lithography technology. In this presentation, Brewer Science will outline this integrated product design methodology and its impact on the final customer process for a broad spectrum of lithography materials such as multipatterning, positive- and negative-tone develop (PTD and NTD), directed self-assembly (DSA), and EUV lithography. We will compare advantages of versatile product platforms over customized products and demonstrate how suppliers and semiconductor manufacturers can improve collaboration for mutual success.
