|

From the ``Rosetta Stone of Lithography'' it looks like with true double patterning,
|
||||
the smallest we can get is the 10nm node (50nm pitch).
|
||||
|
||||
However, the Breakfast Bytes article, right after saying 50nm is the smallest
|
||||
pitch we can get with double patterning, brings up SADP, which is also
|
||||
double patterning, but can go as low as 40nm. In the Rosetta Stone,
|
||||
however, 40nm seems to correspond to `Higher-order pitch division', and not
|
||||
double patterning, so I still think 50nm pitch / 10nm node is the answer here.

We use tin plasma! Apparently, tin is ``fairly efficient'' at converting laser

light into EUV.
