Miniature E-Beam Columns

  • Multibeam’s miniature column is a game changer
  • Revolutionary multicolumn architecture, solves the e-beam productivity challenge
  • 5kV beam energy advantage: Higher speed without the intrinsic damage of 50-100kV systems
TECHNOLOGY

Multibeam's data preparation system leverages Synopsys CATS software

Synopsys CATS was custom modified for Multibeam, and is fully integrated into Multibeam system software.

Features:

  • Both physics-based and model-based corrections included (3D proximity effect, thermal, etc.)
  • Designed for use in IC production; customer usability 
  • Handles GDSII, OASIS, MULTIGON formats

Benefits:

  • Easier and faster path from chip design to production
  • Easy transcription of complex chip design data into machine-readable instructions for e-beams
  • Rapid iterations between design feedback and validation
  • Fast ramp to production upon design validation
TECHNOLOGY

Parallel, Direct-Write

  • Columns write independently and in parallel for maximum productivity
  • High speed parallel data paths stream a torrent of writing information to each column
  • Harmonized spot size, beam current, and precision patterning

Digital Writing System

  • Multibeam’s data processing system seamlessly converts GDSII / OASIS files for fully automated wafer patterning
  • Direct-write capability offers tremendous flexibility
  • Unlocks new applications at advanced nodes that were previously impossible
