Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center (ZNTC) and Planarhave concludeddeveloping Russia’s first lithography system capable of supporting 350nm-class process technologies (0.35 micron). The development was assisted by Belarus-based Planar company. The machine has cleared official inspections and is undergoing integration trials in Zelenograd. Despite its symbolic significance, the system’s design has been outdated by several decades, and whether ZNTC can produce these in volume is unclear. A new tool The ZNTC lithography tool — which wasofficially introduced a year ago— is a 200-mm litho machine based on a solid-state laser with an exposure field size of 22mm × 22mm (484 mm^2)....
