About Us

Mission | The Initiative provides a forum for educational and promotional activities regarding new design-to-manufacturing approaches that help reduce mask costs for semiconductor devices based on electron beam (eBeam) technologies.

Design Team Advisors | Provide business and technical insights and requirements to the Steering Group and Ecosystem members.

eBeam Member Videos | Proof points, viewpoints and products discussed by eBeam Initiative members.

Aki Fujimura, CEO of D2S, sits down with Jed Rankin of IBM to discuss his leadership of the BACUS Steering Committee and changing the SPIE PUV Conference.	Harry Levinson of HJL Lithography summarizes key developments at SPIE-PUV 2024.
Glen Scheid of Micron, Harry Levinson of HJL Lithography, and Naoya Hayashi of DNP (pictured left to right) debate the results of this year’s Luminaries Survey during SPIE PUV with Aki Fujimura as moderator. In Part 1, the panelists cover the state of the mask industry, growing equipment investments, actinic inspection, high-NA EUV broad adoption and stitching of high-NA EUV masks. Part 2 covers mask writer costs, EUV pellicles, curvilinear ILT and the extendibility of 193i.	Jan Willis presents the results of this year’s Luminaries Survey on future business and technology trends. Key takeaways include: high confidence in photomask market growth and increasing equipment investments; growing confidence in non-EUV reaching 5nm; and high expectations that stitching for high-NA EUV masks will require designers to be aware of the stitching boundaries during design.
