Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) was recently adopted by the semiconductor industry as the leading-edge lithography technique for continued miniaturization of semiconductor devices in line with Moore’s law. EUVL has emerged as a critical technique, taking advantage of shorter wavelengths to achieve nanoscale feature sizes with higher precision and lower defect rates than previous lithography methods. This Primer comprehensively explores the technical evolution from deep ultraviolet to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, highlighting innovative approaches in source technology, resist materials and optical systems developed to meet the stringent requirements of high-volume manufacturing. Beginning with an overview of the fundamental principles of photolithography, the main components and functionalities of EUV scanners are described. It also covers exposure tools that support research and early development phases. Key topics — such as image formation, photoresist platforms and pattern transfer — are explained with an emphasis on improving resolution and throughput. Additionally, persistent challenges are addressed, such as stochastic effects and resist sensitivity, with insights provided into future directions for EUVL, including high-numerical aperture systems and novel resist platforms. This Primer aims to present a detailed review of current EUVL capabilities and project the future developments and evolution of EUVL in semiconductor manufacturing.
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is the leading lithography technique in CMOS mass production, moving towards the sub-10 nm half-pitch (HP) regime with the ongoing development of the next generation high numerical aperture (high NA) EUV scanners. Hitherto, EUV interference lithography (EUV-IL) utilizing transmission gratings has been a powerful patterning tool for the early development of EUV resists and related processes, playing a key role in exploring and pushing the boundaries of photon-based lithography. However, achieving patterning with HPs well below 10 nm using this method presents significant challenges. In response, this study introduces a novel EUV-IL setup that employs mirror-based technology and circumvents the limitations of diffraction efficiency towards the diffraction limit that is inherent in conventional grating-based approaches. The results are line/space patterning of the HSQ resist down to HP 5 nm using the standard EUV wavelength 13.5 nm, and the compatibility of the tool with shorter wavelengths beyond EUV. Mirror-based interference lithography paves the way towards the ultimate photon-based resolution at EUV wavelengths and beyond. This advancement is vital for scientific and industrial research, addressing the increasingly challenging needs of nanoscience and technology and future technology nodes of CMOS manufacturing in the few-nanometer HP regime.
Atomically precise hydrogen desorption lithography using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) has enabled the development of single-atom, quantum-electronic devices on a laboratory scale. Scaling up this technology to mass-produce these devices requires bridging the gap between the precision of STM and the processes used in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing. Here, we demonstrate the ability to remove hydrogen from a monohydride Si(001):H surface using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light. We quantify the desorption characteristics using various techniques, including STM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM). Our results show that desorption is induced by secondary electrons from valence band excitations, consistent with an exactly solvable non-linear differential equation and compatible with the current 13.5 nm (~92 eV) EUV standard for photolithography; the data imply useful exposure times of order minutes for the 300 W sources characteristic of EUV infrastructure. This is an important step towards the EUV patterning of silicon surfaces without traditional resists, by offering the possibility for parallel processing in the fabrication of classical and quantum devices through deterministic doping.

Periodic patterning is important for various scientific and technological applications, especially in the nanoscale. Achromatic Talbot lithography (ATL) utilizing extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths, notably 13.5 nm, is a powerful lithographic technique enabling high-resolution and high-throughput nanopatterning over large areas. Improving the resolution and the throughput of the technique requires elaborate designs based on simulations and nanofabrication of transmission diffraction gratings on thin silicon nitride membranes. Our simulations point to the fact that compared to conventional ATL masks with hole arrays, masks consisting of annular rings and intersecting annular rings show increased performance in terms of throughput. A set of masks with uncrossed and crossed annular rings have been nanofabricated and exposed with spatially coherent synchrotron EUV light and the experimental results confirm our theoretical predictions that masks with annular rings and crossed rings yield dot arrays with improved throughput. The presented technique may enable applications in science and technology where large-area and periodic nanopatterning is needed.
Grayscale electron beam lithography (g-EBL) is a fabrication technique that allows for tunable control of resist topography. In most cases, the height of the structures is in the submicron regime. Here, we present an extensive experimental characterization of the post electron beam exposure behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 950 K for grayscale structuring with several micrometers in height. The obtained results show that the development depth for the same electron dose is dependent on the time between exposure and development. This dependence becomes more prominent at higher exposure doses. Additionally, it was found that a post-exposure bake influences the dose-response behavior of the resist material and, therefore, also the obtained three-dimensional (3D) structure. This work paves the way for well-controlled 3D micrometer structuring via g-EBL.
Dynamic tuning of color filters finds numerous applications including displays or image sensors. Plasmonic resonators are subwavelength nanostructures which can tailor the phase, polarization, and amplitude of the optical field, but they are limited in color vibrancy when used as filters. In this work, birefringence-induced colors of plasmonic resonators and a fast switching thin liquid crystal cell are combined in a multicolored electrically tunable filter. With this mechanism, the color gamut of the plasmonic surface and the liquid crystal cell is mutually enhanced in order to generate all primary additive and subtractive colors with high saturation as well as different tones of white. A single filter is able to cover more than 70% of the color gamut of standard RGB filters by applying a voltage ranging between 2 and 6.5 V. This spectral selectivity is added in transmission without any loss in the image resolution. The presented approach is foreseen to be implemented in a variety of devices including miniature sensors or smart-phone cameras to enhance the color information, ultraflat multispectral imagers, wearable or head-worn displays, as well as high resolution display panels.
