Abstract
In this presentation, the authors will review the next generation light source with improvement in speckle reduction for improved device performance yield in next generation device nodes. Further improvements in local critical dimension uniformity (LCDU) from improvement optics that significantly reduces speckle. Overall system availability continues to increase due to significant improvements in module lifetimes which continue to contribute to productivity improvements. We continue to focus on reducing the environmental impact through the reduction and eventual elimination of helium gas which reduces supply issue risks. Lastly, we continue to focus on technology improvements that reduces energy consumption to reduce cost and ecological impact.
