IMEC Makes Functional 22 nm SRAM Cells With EUV Lithography

IMEC has achieved its next milestone with EUV lithography, creating the first functional 22 nm CMOS SRAM cells with technology. Both the contact and Metal 1 layer were imaged with ASML's full-field EUV demo tool.

IMEC (Leuven, Belgium) has achieved its next milestone with extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, creating the first functional 22 nm CMOS SRAM cells with the technology. Both the contact and Metal 1 layer were imaged with ASML's full-field EUV alpha demo tool (ADT). The cells were made with finFETs, and the ultra-small circuit structures were deposited with advanced tools from Applied Materials.

IMEC patterned this 22 nm SRAM array with EUV lithography, shown here after Metal 1 patterning and etch.
