Lithography as developed for IC device fabrication is a high volume high accuracy patterning technology with strong 2 dimensional (2D) characteristics. This 2D nature makes it a challenge to integrate this technology in a 3 dimensional (3D) manufacturing environment. This article addresses the performance of a waferstepper (ASML PAS5000) in several 3D processes ranging form waferbonding and thi...

Lattices abound in nature from the crystal structure of minerals to the honey-comb organization of 10 ommatidia in the compound eye of insects. These arrangements provide solutions for optimal pack11 ings, efficient resource distribution and cryptographic protocols. Do lattices also play a role in how 12 the brain represents information? We focus on higher-dimensional stimulus domains, with par...
