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, interviews Mike Hermes, vice president of mask technology at Micron, about the changing landscape in mask making, including the shift to multi-beam mask writing and curvilinear masks.	Dr. Harry J. Levinson comments on winning the 2022 SPIE Frits Zernike Award and shares his experiences in lithography and what to expect in the future.
Leo Pang of D2S provides an overview of the evolution of ILT from his SPIE JM3 ILT review paper published in 2021.	Aki Fujimura explains why curvilinear mask shapes are important for both photomask and wafer manufacturers.
