Researchers at Carl Zeiss SMT and ASML published a technical paper titled “Hyper-NA: a system with a numerical aperture of at least 0.75.”
The researchers examine Hyper-NA EUV lithography with a numerical aperture of at least 0.75 as a path beyond current 0.55-NA High-NA systems, including the optical architecture, resolution potential, reticle 3D effects, polarization, and requirements for extending the existing EUV ecosystem.
