JMAR Industries Awarded $1.3 Million in New DARPA
Funding to Initiate Construction of X-ray Lithography
Point Source Demonstration System.
''JMAR's research during the past several years provides strong evidence that a workstation using
our PXS X-ray lithography source could provide an economical way to gain dramatic increases in
circuit densities, hence performance, by reducing circuit feature sizes to 0.13 microns and below.''

The PXS architecture includes both pulse generating and amplifier lasers based on JMAR's
high-performance proprietary solid state Britelight laser technology to produce 30 to 90 watts of
the type of X-rays required for optimum lithographic exposures.

During 1998 JMAR expects to integrate its PXS with an aligner being developed under other
DARPA programs to create a complete X-ray lithography workstation no larger than current
optical lithography systems.

Obviously the military wants/needs this technology.
