Some facts and trends......... Lithography is at the heart of many applications we take for granted every day These applications outperform logic and memory devices in growth They are very high tech, but in a different form There are many materials other than silicon Applications are only limited by human imagination A few examples of applications.... Semiconductor companies find niche markets or start Micro- ElectroMechanical Systems foundries; 200 mm wafer fabs with older generations systems are increasingly being used |
