Triple patterning and self-aligned double patterning (SADP)

In the absence of EUV lithography, the primary option for manufacturing on a 10nm process is to extend double patterning. But the options each have issues.

Patterning choices loom for 10nm and beyond

It is not just a choice between EUV and multiple patterning for future nodes, but even between varieties of multi-mask technologies. How will you decide?

Lithography challenges threaten the cost benefits of IC scaling

The costs of advanced lithography techniques at 1xnm, and the yield and reliability risks from the resultant process variation, will stop many companies getting the typical economic advantages of scaling.
