Litel Announces New Products to Improve and Monitor Scanner Performance.SAN DIEGO San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. -- Litel Instruments, a California Corporation, announced today the release of two new products designed to increase silicon chip performance and yield in leading edge semiconductor factories. The new products, dubbed Distortion Mapper (DMAP DMAP 4-(dimethylamino) pyridine DMAP Division of Medical Assistance Programs DMAP Deer Management Assistance Program DMAP Direct Matrix Abstraction Program (macro language of NASA Structural Analysis System) )(TM) and Transmission Mapper (TMAP TMAP Texas Medication Algorithm Project TMap Test Management Approach (Sogeti Nederland B.V.) TMAP Telecommunications Monitoring and Assessment Program (US Air Force) TMAP Tell Madaba Archaeological Project )(TM), complement a growing list of Litel products that have found widespread application in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. DMAP and TMAP products will be enhancements to Litel's current product suite of ISI ISI International Sensitivity Index, see there and SMI (1) (Storage Management Initiative) The initiative developed by the SNIA in 2003 to create a single standard interface for storage management technologies used by multiple vendors and networking communities. products used for analyzing and optimizing lens and illumination performance of photolithography tools. DMAP provides customers with the ability to analysis and correct photolithography tool subsystems, including the precision mechanics responsible for maintaining position control of the silicon wafer. Unlike other techniques in the market, DMAP allows the customer to independently measure lens distortion Image displacement caused by lens irregularities and aberrations. and scan sync errors, and provide customers with the necessary corrections which will attribute to overlay improvement programs demanded by chip manufacturers. TMAP will allow customers to measure the accuracy of the Numerical Aperture of the lens, and the ability to measure the lens to uniformly transmit light from the light source to the silicon wafer. This information is essential measuring error sources in 65 nm and smaller semiconductor devices. Some of the many benefits of TMAP include the ability to measure and correct unbalanced N.A. values among multiple scanners in manufacturing, thus reducing CD impacts, as well as measuring and monitoring lens transmission over time. "Our customers recognize the value of Litel products in order to maximize lithography performance," quotes Frank D. Masciocchi, Senior Vice President of Litel Instruments. "DMAP and TMAP are perfect additions, empowering our customers to measure and correct for other areas through the optical path."
