New levels of both technical and economic challenges are making lithography's future far from certain. Although the apparent invincibility of optical lithography has become at least as certain as its sure demise, the technology does indeed seem to be finally approaching its limits. At the 32 nm half-pitch, it's still anyone's guess as to which technique will be most suited to the job. Will 193 nm immersion lithography be able to persevere — whether through high-index chemicals and lenses or through double patterning techniques? Will EUV lithography overcome sizable technology and cost issues to print high-volume wafers? Will nanoimprint lithography get the funding and momentum needed to make a run on the market? This webcast will gather a panel of experts from all the various camps to debate the probable outcome at future technology nodes.
