ASML Advances Photolithography Systems with Multiphysics Simulation
Fred Huizinga, ASML, Netherlands
At ASML, the development of cutting-edge computer chips and the machinery to produce them requires a complex understanding of the many coupled physical processes involved. To design machines at this level of precision requires simulation at every step, making the availability of a comprehensive simulation toolbox invaluable. For example, engineers at ASML worked on the design of an air bearing responsible for high-precision movements in photolithography machines. They also created simulation apps to allow colleagues throughout the team to virtually test the performance of different designs.
