About Us

Mission | The Initiative provides a forum for educational and promotional activities regarding a new design-to-manufacturing approach, known as Design for e-beam (DFEB), that reduces mask costs for semiconductor devices.


Technology | DFEB is a design and software approach to enhance the throughput of e-beam lithographic exposure.  DFEB uses character projection (CP) technology combined with design and software techniques to reduce a design's required shot count, resulting in increased CP e-beam direct-write (EbDW) throughput.


Applications | Systems companies seeking all-layer custom SoC prototypes; low-to-mid-volume semiconductor companies producing maskless test chips, engineering samples, and derivative chips; and supercomputing applications.


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