About Us

Mission | The Initiative provides a forum for educational and promotional activities regarding new design-to-manufacturing approaches based on electron beam (eBeam) technologies. The goals of the eBeam Initiative are to reduce the barriers to adoption to enable more IC design starts and faster time-to-market while increasing the investment in eBeam technologies.

Read the story of the eBeam Initiative

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.

Leo Pang of D2S provides his takeaways from Photomask Japan (PMJ), including Best Paper and Best Poster topic PLDC.	Paris Spinelli of Micron demonstrates in a PMJ Best Paper how PLDC improves mask linearity including variable bias with no increase in turnaround time.
Chris Progler of Photronics explains mask IQ (image quality), including its benefits and potential bottlenecks.	Emily Gallagher of imec reprises her keynote from SPIE-AL on climate-aware IC manufacturing.
