This sounds great: This will be the first X-ray point source system with a collimator to be used in semiconductor manufacturing. John S. Martinez, Ph.D., JMAR's chairman and CEO, commented, ``JMAR has been a leading developer of compact X-ray lithography (XRL) sources for the past several years. This additional funding will accelerate the transition of JMAR's high-performance, compact XRL technology from the laboratory to the factory floor. We are especially pleased that, with this new contract addition, DARPA has expressed its confidence in JMAR by assigning us the overall responsibility for producing a fully integrated XRL system for installation in an established GaAs manufacturing facility. We expect DARPA to make available prior to yearend additional funding to support the system installation and checkout. ``Recent industry studies suggest that the projected costs of advanced lithography technologies, such as deep ultraviolet (DUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) for producing many of the finer circuit features required to support the future product needs of the microelectronics industry, are soaring dramatically as researchers have gained greater familiarity with the technical difficulties involved in implementing them,'' Dr. Martinez continued.
