Hi Zeev, RE:EUV and do you know if anyone is working on "free Electron Lasers" (FEL) for this application? If you browse some of the sites dedicated to FELs, noone has thought of using them for EUVL yet. altavista.com Here are a couple of interesting jump off points: sbfel3.ucsb.edu stanford.edu Clearly, they can do from the far-infrared to hard X-rays in theory. Do you think they are a good solution for EUV lithography? My layperson's opinion is that they are not. Any comments appreciated, Bob

Zeev, re, Jay, do you know if anyone is working on "free Electron Lasers" (FEL) for this application? I feel I have a decent understanding of the general market for semis and equips, and a moderate understanding of DUV lithography. However, when you get into the real technical stuff, I am way over my head. However, I see in the prior post that Bob, as usual, graciously answered (I think) your question. Jay

Zeev: Ball Semiconductor Zeev, have you or anyone else on this thread every heard of Ball semiconductor? Please check out www.ballsemi.com. I was wondering how this statement might/will affect Cymer ... "Our vision is to fabricate circuits on a spherical surface, with system integration through the clustering of several balls" Will/should Cymer have to modify it's lasers to "build" on a spherical surface rather than a flat? Any technologists out there jump in. TRI-GUY (NoPain/NoGain) P.S. Very long on Cymer.
