Abstract

The annual SPIE Advanced Lithography (formerly Microlithography) Symposium is a forum that brings together practitioners of the art of lithography into an exciting, informative, and very practical environment&#046; This Symposium has a strong commitment to simultaneously support the interests of people working in semiconductor production lines, pilot lines, and research laboratories&#046; It has been highly successful for the past 30 years because the programs in the five conferences are organized by users: those who are active in using technologies for production today or developing solutions for future production challenges&#046; The numerous short courses are taught by instructors who are active in the field and are recognized for both theoretical knowledge and practical experience&#046; The SPIE Advanced Lithography Symposium is truly encompassing&#046; It covers the state&#8211;of&#8211;the&#8211;art lithographic tools, resists, metrology, materials characterization, and design and process integration&#046; It covers issues to be faced as we extend these technologies or try to switch to alternative technologies&#046; This variety looms more important as optical lithography, historically the dominant patterning technology, becomes more difficult to apply to leading edge IC fabrication&#046; The strength of the SPIE Advanced Lithography Symposium is the emphasis on presenting real data and applications&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> Emerging Lithographic Technologies<br>Metrology, Inspection, and Process Control for Microlithography<br>Advances in Resist Materials and Processing Technology<br>Optical Microlithography<br>Design for Manufacturability through Design&#8211;Process Integration<br>
