In its constant quest to innovate, Brewer Science is continually on the cutting edge of what is next. We are currently combining directed self-assembly (DSA) and lithography to achieve sub–10 nm nanostructures. DSA uses block copolymers to generate arrays of self-assembled shapes such as lines or cylinders; the spatial arrangements of the resulting features can…

Directed self-assembly (DSA) is rapidly advancing as a potential patterning solution for advanced lithography. The 4th International Symposium on DSA will be organized as a collaborative effort between EIDEC, imec, CEA-Leti, and…

The OptiLign™ system currently includes three materials required for self-assembly: block copolymers, neutral layers and guiding layers. Developed together for optimal performance, these DSA materials…

Aggressive scaling demands for newer generations…

A cool new concept emerges, scientists figure out how to manufacture it, and pretty soon consumers can find it in a product. But people who work in technology know that’s hardly ever the case. On September 9th, Darron Jurajda, the Brewer Science Semiconductor…

The semiconductor industry has tirelessly chased Moore's law ever since it was first coined in the 1970s, but as ICs have…
