Canon releases Nanoimprint lithography semiconductor manufacturing system

Canon announced the launch of the FPA-1200NZ2C nanoimprint semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which executes circuit pattern transfer, the most important semiconductor manufacturing process.

This technology enables patterning with a minimum linewidth of 14 nm, equivalent to the 5-nm-node required to produce most advanced logic semiconductors which are currently available. Furthermore, with further improvement of mask technology, it is expected to enable circuit patterning with a minimum linewidth of 10 nm, which corresponds to 2-nm-node.
