Re-Innovating Maskless Semiconductor Lithography

About Multibeam Corporation

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Multibeam engages in the design, manufacture, and sales of multi-column electron-beam lithography (MEBL) systems that enable rapid prototype to production capabilities for advancing heterogeneous chiplet integration, silicon photonics, quantum computing, and other rapidly growing applications.

At the heart of Multibeam technology is an array of miniature e-beam columns that provide a maskless and high-throughput platform for writing nanoscale IC patterns seamlessly across full wafers.  This solves key limitations widely recognized with e-beam lithography, transforming it from a mere R&D curiosity to an incredible fab tool for production.
