  • Abstract
    For decades, catadioptric optical lithography has continuously been incrementally extended to meet the need of the semiconductor industry. The three parameters to improve resolution, wavelength, numerical aperture (NA) and k/sub 1/ reduction, are reaching their limits. The author reviews the motivations and challenges to meet present and near future demands.
