SecureFoundry Intros Hyper-Beam
Array (HBA) Lithography System
SecureFoundry, a U.S.-based semiconductor
technology company enabling secure,
mixed-volume manufacturing, yesterday
introduced its Hyper-Beam Array (HBA)
lithography system, based on a proven architecture originally pioneered in Europe. HBA
is a new class of lithography, distinct from
both single-beam and multibeam approaches,
operating with tens of thousands of independently controlled beams and delivering
capabilities at a scale no electron-beam
technology can match.
“During the system’s characterization,
we demonstrated the ability to fully pattern
a 100mm wafer in just 15 minutes,” said
Lex Keen, founder and CEO of
SecureFoundry. “The HBA tool
enables wafer-scale integration,
advanced fan-out packaging, and
multiple design variations in a single
run—delivering unmatched flexibility
and faster innovation. The HBA tool
allows AI chip designers to experiment with slight design variations
across a single wafer, enabling exploration of ‘AI personalities’ and rapid
feedback on performance outcomes.
Unlike multibeam systems with only
a handful of beams, HBA lithogContinued on page 22
