MAPPER and CEA-Leti launch an international program on Maskless Lithography for 22nm IC manufacturing and install a MAPPER platform within CEA-Leti premises
Delft (The Netherlands) / Grenoble (France)
MAPPER Lithography and CEA-Leti, a leading French semiconductor research institution, signed an agreement today according to which MAPPER will ship a 300 mm electron-beam direct write lithography platform to CEA-Leti in Grenoble. The machine will be used for a new industrial program called IMAGINE in which IC companies will assess MAPPER’s technology to develop maskless lithography for IC manufacturing.
“This is a great opportunity for MAPPER“, said MAPPER’s CEO, Dr. Christopher Hegarty. “By shipping this machine to CEA-Leti and executing an industry-wide development program in the coming three years, MAPPER will have the opportunity to verify the applicability of our technology with a number of different companies. CEA-Leti’s expertise in electron beam technology makes them the ideal partner for us to integrate our technology into the production infrastructure and make it production ready. This allows companies involved in resist and data processing technologies to develop the infrastructure required to be ready for 22 nm.“
Taking maskless lithography to the next step Dr. Laurent Mallier, CEO of CEA-Leti states: “CEA-Leti’s extensive experience in electron beam technology for IC manufacturing and MAPPER’s technology are a perfect fit to host an international program at CEA-Leti. We have been working very successfully with MAPPER in the European MAGIC program. Having this machine at our site will enable us to take maskless lithography to the next step in the development that is required to make it a viable solution for 22 nm manufacturing.“
The IMAGINE program will cover a range of topics, including tool assessment, patterning and process integration, data handling and cost of ownership studies. CEA-Leti and MAPPER are currently in the process of selecting semiconductor companies to join the program.
MAPPER’s technology
MAPPER develops lithography machines for the chip industry. These machines utilize a new and innovative technology with which the chips of the future can be made cost effectively. MAPPER’s machine provides a highly cost-effective way of making the next generation of chips because it makes the mask redundant and combines high resolution and high productivity. Current lithography machines use photographic techniques to create minute electrical circuits smaller than 1/100th of a human hair on a silicon wafer. They use a mask which contains the blueprint of the chip and transfer this pattern on to a photosensitive layer (comparable to a photograph being exposed on film).

SenterNovem provides EUR 5 million innovation loan to MAPPER
Delft, The Netherlands
– MAPPER Lithography has received a EUR 5 million innovation loan from SenterNovem – the innovation agency of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs – to further develop its highly innovative lithography machine for the manufacturing of chips.
MAPPER previously announced a technological breakthrough in 2007 when the company demonstrated that through the use of parallel electron beams, electronic circuits can be imaged directly onto the chip, thereby eliminating expensive masks required to project the image of the switches in conventional lithography machines. According to TSMC, the world’s leading semiconductor contract manufacturer, who recently acquired MAPPER’s first machine, MAPPER’s solution is a serious candidate to become the future lithography standard, because it holds great promise for cost-effective manufacturing at 22nm and beyond.
MAPPER’s CFO Jaap Bastiaansen comments that “MAPPER regards the loan as a recognition of the innovative power and international commercial potential of maskless lithography machines. Next to this MAPPER’s innovative technology will further enhance the strong reputation Dutch lithography companies enjoy throughout the world. At MAPPER, we feel it is important that we can continue to rely on SenterNovem’s support in the coming years.”
The innovation loan allows MAPPER to accelerate its continued development of prototypes. The machines will be ready for chip manufacturing at the 22nm node, so as to be able to meet the rapidly growing demand for increasingly small, increasingly powerful and increasingly inexpensive chips.
About MAPPER Lithography
Established in 2001, MAPPER focuses on developing lithography machines for the semiconductor industry.

MAPPER and TSMC Take Next Step in Exploring Multiple E-beam Lithography for IC Manufacturing at 22 nanometer node and Beyond.
Delft, The Netherlands / Hsinchu, Taiwan
MAPPER Lithography and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) signed an agreement, according to which MAPPER will ship its first 300 mm multiple-electron-beam maskless lithography platform for process development and device prototyping to TSMC. This platform gives TSMC the opportunity to take the next step forward in exploring multiple e-beam technology as a lithography option at 22 nanometer and more advanced process nodes.
Multiple e-beam maskless lithography uses over 10,000 electron beams working in parallel to directly write circuit patterns on a wafer, eliminating the need for the costly photomasks used in current lithography machines.
“This is another huge step forward for MAPPER”, said MAPPER’s CEO, Dr. Christopher Hegarty. “We first demonstrated proof of principle of our massively parallel electron-beam maskless lithography technology concept in September 2007. In the near future we will be shipping our first 300 millimeter platform. We are very proud of this achievement. Having TSMC, the leading semiconductor foundry, as our launching customer for this project is a great honour for us. Their order also is a clear demonstration of TSMC’s expectation of our solution. Our whole team is fully committed to turning this opportunity for 22 nm manufacturing into a mature technology.”
Dr. Jack Sun, Vice President of Research and Development of TSMC said: “MAPPER’s technology holds great promise for cost-effective manufacturing at 22nm and beyond. We are therefore going to test MAPPER’s solution to see whether it will live up to its promise. Using this first tool we will be able to explore its viability for manufacturing. MAPPER’s solution is a serious candidate to become the future lithography standard.”
MAPPER’s technology
MAPPER develops lithography machines for the chip industry. These machines utilize a new and innovative technology with which the chips of the future can be made cost effectively. MAPPER’s machine provides a highly cost-effective way of making the next generation of chips because it significantly reduces costs by eliminating the photomask while simultaneously providing the ultimate in resolution and high productivity. MAPPER’s technology makes use of massively parallel electron beams (up to 13,000 beams in a full production system), thereby coupling the very high resolution and depth of field of electron beam with the promise of high throughput. Current lithography machines use photographic techniques to create minute electrical circuits smaller than 1/100th of a human hair on a silicon wafer. They use a mask which contains the blueprint of the chip and transfer this pattern on to a photosensitive layer (comparable to a photograph being exposed on film), however the photographic techniques have cost and resolution limitations for future generations of semiconductors.

MAPPER receives millions in subsidy from EU
Delft, The Netherlands
MAPPER Lithography has received a subsidy of approximately € 3.5 million from the European Union to enable the further development of its innovative lithography machine for producing next generation chips. The company recently achieved an important breakthrough in the field of lithography by demonstrating that the wafers that are crucial for the production of chips can also be imaged using parallel electron beams. This eliminates the need to use expensive masks, which substantially reduces the manufacturing costs of chips and shortens the time to market.
The EU subsidy is being granted within the framework of the new European programme called MAGIC, which stands for Maskless lithography for IC manufacturing. This was announced today at the SPIE Advanced Lithography congress being held in San Jose, California. The total budget for the MAGIC project is approximately € 12 million. In addition to MAPPER, other large European IC manufacturers including ST Microelectronics and Qimonda are also participating in the project.
The prototype of the MAPPER lithography machine is able to write the patterns for the 32 nanometre chip generation in the resist using parallel electron beams. The machine is based on two technological breakthroughs: the use of light to direct the electron beams individually and the use of MEMS lens arrays to focus the parallel electron beams accurately.
During the next phase of this machine’s development, MAPPER will focus on applying the technology on a wafer that is 300 mm in diameter. In order to accomplish this, the team will be expanded to include approximately 60 staff members in 2008.
