Canon Inc. announced the release of the FPA-3030i6 i-line stepper, a new semiconductor lithography system

Published

Canon

The FPA-3030i6 employs a newly developed projection lens that boasts high transmittance and high-durability. The system reduces lens aberration for high exposure dose processes and improves productivity by shortening exposure time.

The lens is made of high-transmittance glass material that reduces lens aberrations occurring during exposure by more than 50% when compared to previous stepper models. Higher transmittance also helps reduce exposure time while maintaining pattern fidelity, even under high exposure dose conditions.

Improving lens transmittance will also increase exposure intensity and shorten the exposure time required for each process. The FPA-3030i6 standard productivity for 8 inch (200 mm) wafers has increased to 130 wafers per hour from 123 for the previous stepper models.

Additionally, since the lens is highly durable, lens transmittance decrease over time is reduced and productivity can be maintained over the life of the system.

The NA (numerical aperture) range has also been expanded from 0.45~0.63 in the previous model to 0.30~0.63. Allowing for a smaller NA enables customers to select the optimum NA for each device layer.

Optional products including a wafer handling system for special substrates are available for order to meet users’ manufacturing needs for various emerging semiconductor devices including high-power and high-efficiency green devices.

The FPA-3030i6 is designed to support a wider range of device fabrication thanks to a variety of available process options for silicon (Si) as well as sapphire and compound semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrates.

Canon will offer wafer feeding options enabling handling of substrates from 2 inches (50 mm) to 8 inches (200 mm) in diameter, as well as thick, thin and warped substrate handling.

Shure is unveiling a number of innovations today at the start of NAMM 2025. In addition to the new products announced today and highlighted below, Shure will also be providing NAMM attendees a closer look at the new Axient Digital PSM Advanced Digital In-Ear Monitor System and MV7i Smart Microphone and Interface.

The new innovations come on the back of the Middle East’s rapidly growing conferencing, events and content creation scene industry, which has seen technological enthusiasts in the regional broadcast, production, recording, and podcasting industries develop a need for products that deliver sound experiences that immerse, inspire, and exceed expectations.

With Shure products now sold in more than 120 countries, the Middle East is steadily rising as a key market as its appetite for game-changing wired and wireless microphones, meeting solutions, and personal and professional listening products balloon year-on-year.

“Shure products have remained the top choice for vocal performances regionally. These new innovations align with the evolving audio needs of the Middle East consumer and we are super excited to be introducing a series of special products that will elevate the regional industry,” said Antony Lovell, sales director, Shure MEASA.  

Nexadyne Instrument Microphones

Each Nexadyne microphone boasts Shure’s patented Revonic Dual-Engine Transducer Technology. While typical instrument microphones use a single transducer, Nexadyne microphones feature two precisely calibrated transducers working together to achieve optimal performance that delivers natural, authentic clarity while minimizing unwanted noise.

SLX-D Quad-Channel Digital Receivers

The SLX-D Quad-Channel Digital Receiver is available in both standard (SLXD4Q+) and Dante-enabled (SLXD4QDAN+) versions. Paired with existing SLX-D transmitters, the new Quad-Channel Digital Receivers build upon the rich feature set of SLX-D digital wireless with a suite of new and improved capabilities, including an expanded 138 MHz tuning range capability, enabling country-wide frequency versatility.

SM39 Vocal Performance Headset Microphone

The SM39 Vocal Performance Headset Microphone is specifically engineered for performers who demand the freedom to move boldly and command the stage with uncompromising sound quality. Its lightweight, low-profile design provides a comfortable, secure fit for extended wear, empowering musicians from lead vocalists to instrumentalists to focus solely on their stage presence and perform with confidence. The SM39 integrates seamlessly with Shure Axient Digital and all Shure Wireless Systems, providing reliable sound for any environment.

Wired KSM11 Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone

Building on the KSM11’s reputation as the premium standard for vocal microphones, the wired KSM11 now makes top-tier performance accessible to artists and engineers who demand an XLR solution for live performance, broadcast, simulcast, and live-streamed applications. For performances that require efficient and unmatched quality, the KSM11 requires substantially less processing and EQ to reproduce the true quality and intelligibility of artists’ vocals.

What products did Aukey showcase at GITEX Global 2024?
We were excited to showcase our latest series at GITEX Global 2024. We launched two new product lines during the event. The first was the Omnia-Frez series, a revolutionary cooling wireless charger designed to optimize battery life for iPhones and other wireless charging-compatible devices. The second was the Comet series, featuring ultra-compact GaN (Gallium Nitride) chargers. These chargers are not only highly efficient but also come with a sleek and elegant design that sets them apart.

When were these products expected to hit the market?
The Comet series was in the final stages of production during GITEX and was expected to be available in the market within a month. Meanwhile, the OmniFreeze series had already been launched the previous month and is available in key markets at the time of the event.

Was GITEX the first platform where these products were showcased?
No, we first unveiled these products at IFA Berlin earlier in the year. GITEX Global was our second major platform to showcase the Omnia-Frez and Comet series to the Middle East audience.

How did you engage visitors at GITEX, particularly with interactive demos for the TrackMate series?
During GITEX, we showcased advancements building on last year’s MagFusion series, which featured Qi2 charging technology for Apple users. This year, we introduced the Omnia-Frez series with integrated advanced cooling technology, designed to prolong mobile battery life. The response from visitors to these demos was very positive, and the interactive showcases helped highlight the key benefits of our latest innovations.
