Canon's new nanoprint lithography tool will take years to rival the EUV equipment that ASML alone provides to make the world's most advanced semiconductors, analysts told EE Times.

Canon's nanoimprint lithography (NIL) technology enables patterning with a minimum linewidth of 14nm, equivalent to the 5nm-node required to produce most advanced logic semiconductors which are currently available. Furthermore, with further improvement of mask technology, NIL is expected to enable circuit patterning with a minimum linewidth of 10 nm, which corresponds to 2nm-node.
