<p class="has-text-align-center">G300K, a KrF excimer laser for ultra-fine ablation processing</p>



<p>Gigaphoton has applied its expertise in semiconductor lithography lightsources to develop a lightsource for ultra-fine ablation processing for advanced packaging processes.</p>



<p>The G300K, is an excimer laser based on KrF (248nm) wavelength, which is integrated into the processing equipment for semiconductor package substrates. It provides high power, high repetition rate, high reliability with long life modules. The excimer laser is primarily used in the process of creating micro-via holes with a diameter of 10μm or less, as well as trench patterns. It is expected to be adopted for the manufacturing of 2.5D/3D packages utilizing chiplets, which are projected to increase primarily used for AI chipsets.</p>



<p>Tatsuo Enami, President and CEO of Gigaphoton said, &#8220;In Gigaphoton, alongside our research and development of lightsources for semiconductor lithography, we have also been exploring various possibilities for the application of excimer lasers in other fields.<br>We will continue to accelerate our research and development efforts to expand into new areas.<br>As a critical lightsource manufacturer in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, we will continue to contribute to the industry through continuous research and development on new processes to facilitate the further implementation of excimer lasers.&#8221;</p>

Gigaphoton Earns Intel’s 2024 EPIC Distinguished Supplier Award


<p class="has-text-align-center">Evolutionary Immersion Lithography Lightsource Driving Lithography Performance</p>



<p>Oyama, Tochigi; March 27, 2024, <a href="https://gigaphoton.com/">Gigaphoton Inc.</a> (Head Office: Oyama, Tochigi; President and CEO: Katsumi Uranaka), a manufacturer of lightsources for semiconductor lithography, announced that &#8220;GT80A&#8221;, that is Gigaphoton&#8217;s latest ArF Immersion lithography lightsource has been shipped.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="472" height="383" src="https://webapi.gigaphoton.global/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-8979" srcset="https://webapi.gigaphoton.global/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-1.png 472w, https://webapi.gigaphoton.global/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/image-1-300x243.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px" /></figure></div>


<p>In the manufacturing of state-of-the-art devices, high productivity is required along with the scaling. Said state-of-the-art devices must meet requirements for lithography patterns transferred to wafers, especially EPE (Edge Placement Error) and high productivity. As a lightsource, by reducing CD LER/LWR (Line Edge Roughness/Line Width Roughness), which directly affects EPE, the GT80A provides improved yield at mass production sites.</p>



<p>The new immersion lithography lightsource &#8220;GT80A&#8221; has successfully enhanced the repetition rate by 12.5% with newly developed modules. This leads to a 36% reduction in speckle contrast compared with GT65A and contributes to further reduction of LWR/CDU.&nbsp; These advancements enable further improvement on process yield and support high productivity in the production of leading-edge nodes.</p>



<p>Katsumi Uranaka, President and CEO of Gigaphoton said, &#8220;GT80A has been introduced to the semiconductor market with the goal of achieving stable and high-yield production for cutting-edge semiconductors in state-of-the-art process nodes. Gigaphoton will continue its efforts to drive innovation in semiconductor industry.&#8221;</p>
