As semiconductor devices continue to shrink and grow in complexity, the demand for more advanced inspection and metrology tools becomes critical. At the core of these advancements is illumination, which is the key to seeing the unseen, detecting the undetectable, and pushing the limits of what's possible in chip manufacturing.

A recent article in Photonics Media, In Semiconductor Manufacturing and Beyond: Extreme-Ultraviolet Extends Its Reach, explores how light sources are driving innovation in semiconductor metrology, life sciences, and materials analysis. The article features insights from several industry leaders, including Don McDaniel, VP and General Manager of EUV at Energetiq Technology.
“In inspection and metrology, there is increasing demand for higher brightness, better spatial and spectral uniformity, and greater stability,” said McDaniel in the piece. “We see these trends both in broadband plasma light sources as well as EUV light sources.”
Energetiq is uniquely positioned to meet these demands. Our Laser-Driven Light Sources (LDLS®) and EUV sources are designed to deliver the stability, brightness, and precision required for today’s most demanding applications, whether in leading-edge fabs or research laboratories.
With Don’s leadership, Energetiq continues to innovate in the EUV space, collaborating closely with customers and research institutions to advance the next wave of inspection technologies. His perspective reinforces our commitment to delivering light sources that not only meet current specifications, but also anticipate the future needs of the semiconductor industry.
