Enabling High-Volume and Cost-Efficient AI Packaging Through Full Field Projection Lithography

11:40 am - 12:05 pm

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the semiconductor industry at an unprecedented pace, driving rapidly increasing performance requirements, technology complexity, and capacity demand. As a result, next-generation lithography solutions, like many other equipment types, must combine three critical requirements more than ever: technical performance, scalable high-volume manufacturing capability, and particularly high economic efficiency.

At the same time, with traditional 2D Front-End scaling becoming more challenging, the industry is shifting toward heterogeneous integration, combining multiple high-performance and specialized chiplets into increasingly large and complex packages.

SUSS supports these industry requirements with our battle-proven full field projection solution. The platform maintains high throughput independent of package size, which is a key for AI applications. It eliminates stitching to ensure highest-yield manufacturing while offering extensive versatility for Advanced Packaging lithography processes. It allows for high resolution of 1µm in thin resist to high aspect ratios in >300µm thick film via creation, both on wafers and panels.
