Luminescent Technologies, Inc. is the pioneer and first to market with computational lithography solutions for the global semiconductor industry.  Luminescent's products are designed to improve the quality and manufacturability of leading edge semiconductors across several market segments. The products are based on Luminescent's patented and groundbreaking Inverse Lithography Technology (ILT), which offers shorter time to silicon, accelerated yield ramps, superior design tolerance and favorable IC economics. ILT is the only technology that begins with keeping the desired IC pattern on the wafer in mind and then producing a manufacturable mask pattern that delivers the best pattern fidelity with largest possible process window.

Luminescent offers three types of products:

• Products used to develop semiconductor lithography processes for sub-32nm design nodes
• Products which are used in the design and manufacturing of high fidelity photolithography masks
• Products which aid in inspection, review and acceptance

Computational lithography (or computational scaling) is based on using advanced mathematical models and software techniques to improve the resolution of light across a critical layer of an integrated circuit (IC). It has become the most viable and economic approach for extending 193-nm wavelength lithography through at least the 22-nm generation. Its successful commercialization by early pioneer, Luminescent, means that for the first time in the history of the semiconductor industry, Moore’s law is being enabled by software innovation rather than through advances in hardware-centric lithography technologies.
