Lunch Lecture April hosted by ASML

Theme: Concept optimization of system dynamics of a lithography tool.


In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, the demand for computing power continues to grow exponentially. This places increasing performance requirements on lithographic scanners and metrology equipment, which must retain extremely high positioning accuracy while simultaneously delivering increased throughput. To ensure advanced semiconductor lithography systems remain prepared for future demands, in this talk a novel passive damping approach is presented which is based on the existing constrained layer damping principle, allowing for significantly higher decay rate and thereby reducing settling time.

Spreker: Wietse Maas, Mechanical Engineer ASML

Company: ASML
