How do we bring lithography into 3D?

HoLiSTEP: Explained

Consortium Partners

HoLiSTEP has assembled a strong consortium comprising many industry leaders.

HoLiSTEP will empower a positive transformative effect on environment, economy and society by enabling a wider range of companies to produce novel high-resolution 2D and 3D images at lower costs.

Sub-Wavelength Holographic Lithography Stepper for Integrated Circuit Production

HoLiSTEP aims to demonstrate the potential of sub-wavelength holographic lithography (SWHL) as a disruptive technology for high-resolution 2D and 3D semiconductor and micro component devices manufacturing. SWHL has the potential to overcome limitations of projection lithography and enables:

  • Unique capability to produce high-resolution 3D structures in one single exposure
  • Significant cost reduction for photomasks and equipment production
  • Infinite lifetime of holographic photo-masks
  • Applicability across all technology nodes
  • The realisation of maskless lithography

the HoLiSTEP consortium will build and demonstrate an industrial prototype for the holographic stepper operating at a wavelength of 345nm (HS-345).
