Description

Next Generation Lithography (NGL) refers to a set of advanced technologies and techniques used in the semiconductor industry for creating incredibly small patterns on silicon wafers. As the demand for smaller and more complex integrated circuits increases, traditional lithography methods face limitations due to physical constraints. Next Generation Lithography aims to overcome these limitations and enable the production of even smaller features with higher precision.

NGL materials play a crucial role in enabling the production of high-performance and high-density semiconductor devices. As the demand for smaller and more powerful electronic devices continues to grow, there is a need for lithography technologies that can achieve smaller feature sizes. Next-generation lithography materials, such as photoresists and etching materials, are designed to meet the requirements of advanced lithographic techniques, such as extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and multi-beam electron beam lithography. These materials enable the fabrication of sub-10nm and sub-5nm features, driving the demand for NGL materials.

The global materials for next generation lithography market size is projected to grow by USD 322.0 million from 2023 to 2029, registering a CAGR of 22.71 percent, according to the latest market data.
