<p>The KrF laser, G300K, is a new model that joins the GIGANEX lineup. Based on the concept of “optimizing processing” such as for ultrafine ablation, the G300K maximizes the return on investment (ROI) of our customers while maintaining high output and high availability of at least 99%. As the basic platform, the G300K uses our KrF light source for semiconductor lithography, the G41K, which has sold more than 900 units. We have also newly developed and installed a power supply and laser chamber optimized for high output. This will help maximize our customers&#8217; ROI by improving productivity and reducing COO in next-generation ultrafine ablation processing in the back-end process of semiconductor manufacturing.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A KrF Lithography Light Source That Achieves a High Output 150% Greater Than the Previous Model to Meet the Output Demands of Tomorrow</h2>



<p>Based on our KrF light source technology that is the result of many years of technological evolution and accumulated experience, the KrF lithography light source, G60K, which supports a scanner throughput of at least 300 wafers per hour, offers an output 150% greater than the previous model. Also, by extending the module’s lifespan by 200%, the G60K delivers improvements in terms of availability as well. A newly developed power supply and module see the G60K support performance improvements such as higher frequencies in preparation for the higher outputs of tomorrow to meet the demands of KrF lithography technology in the years to come. Helium-free technology is also installed as standard, meaning the G60K also contributes to reducing the energy consumption of utilities.</p>

<p>By introducing a new power supply unit, it is now possible to output 60 W, which is 150% greater than the output of the previous model. This greater output suppresses throughput loss even for low-sensitivity resistances such as thick-film resistances, thereby contributing to even greater productivity.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Follows in the footsteps of our technology that already offers availability of at least 99.9%</h4>



<p>Based on the technology of the G41K, a model that has received rave reviews by our customers for its high availability in the field and performance stability, the G60K achieves an availability of at least 99.9% in all output ranges. The introduction of new technology has extended the module’s lifespan by 200% and offers improved availability.</p>

<p>Stability and durability are the biggest technological challenges for an excimer laser, because it uses fluorine, high-voltage discharge, and deep UV, all of which are highly reactive. As well as stability and durability, an excimer laser light source for lithography tools requires high monochromaticity for the laser beam and high uniformity for the output energy.<br>As the world’s first excimer laser light source that satisfies all of these requirements, the G10K has earned a top reputation in the lithography light source market since it was marketed in 1997. This model is still operating in the field world wide.</p>
