Semiconductor manufacturing is a complex process that involves multiple steps to create integrated circuits (ICs) on silicon wafers. One of the most critical steps in this process is lithography. The evolution of lithography has been a driving force behind the exponential growth of semiconductor technology. From the early days of visible light lithography to the current state-of-the-art EUV systems, each advancement has enabled significant strides in performance, efficiency, and miniaturization. This article covers the evolution of lithography in semiconductor manufacturing.

The design of Integrated Circuits has dramatically evolved from the integration of a few transistors to the capability of integrating billions on a single chip. This evolution has been driven by advances in manufacturing technologies, design tools, and new architectures that have enabled the development of increasingly powerful and efficient electronic devices. In this article, we will briefly review the historical evolution of Integrated Circuits.
