Breakthrough in Semiconductor Lithography Recognized by the American Chemical Society

WILMINGTON, Del., June 10, 2025 – DuPont (NYSE: DD) today announced that 13 of its current and former scientists and engineers have been named 2025 Heroes of Chemistry by the American Chemical Society (ACS) for an innovative program that progressed semiconductor lithography.

The award recognizes the collaborative development of embedded barrier layer technology, a transformative advancement in 193 nm immersion lithography that significantly improved chip fabrication processes by increasing yield, reducing defects, and enhancing process efficiency. The honored team includes Deyan Wang, Ph.D., Cong Liu, Ph.D., Doris Kang, Ph.D., MingQi Li, Ph.D., Shintaro Yamada, Ph.D., Stefan Caporale, Chengbai Xu, Ph.D., George Barclay, Ph.D., ChunYi Wu, Joon Seok Oh, Li Jia, Jinrong Liu, and Anthony Zampini.

Formulations containing embedded barrier technology have been widely adopted in lithography processes across the global semiconductor industry, supporting advancements for technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), advanced computing and consumer electronics.

Embedded barrier layer technology addresses key challenges in early immersion lithography such as defectivity and process stability. By integrating barrier functionality directly into the photoresist, fabricators can simplify their lithography processes, with lower materials usage and reduced energy consumption. This advanced technology contributes to improvements in operational efficiency and sustainability for high-volume chip fabrication.

“The introduction of embedded barrier layer technology marked a critical breakthrough innovation for the global semiconductor industry, by extending the capabilities of what is possible with 193 immersion lithography to support the production of advanced, energy-efficient chips,” said Randal King, Vice President of R&D/Technology, Qnity™, DuPont Electronics. “Embedded barrier layer solutions were first implemented over a decade ago and continue to be widely used today. The success of this team demonstrates how materials innovation is powering amazing leaps in technology.”

The ACS Heroes of Chemistry Award is presented annually to industrial scientists whose work has led to the successful development and commercialization of impactful chemistry-based products. The 2025 awardees will be formally recognized at a ceremony in August, as part of the ACS Fall 2025 meeting in Washington, D.C.

As world leaders act to secure access to these minerals, companies come under pressure to follow due diligence guidelines to promote ethical sourcing of these materials for their supply chains.  Regulations such as the US Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Section 1502), EU Regulation 2017/821 and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive require companies to trace materials through their supply chains and report to the public about their use of conflict minerals. 

Several industry associations, including the Responsible Business Alliance’s Responsible Minerals Initiative, were created to help companies with their due diligence efforts. Reports such as those issued by the US Government Accountability Office on Conflict Minerals offer insights into the efficacy of these regulations and suggest improved approaches for industry engagement. 

The SEMI Responsible Supply Chain (RSC) working group was recently formed to host discussions on these topics. This webinar will provide insights from speakers Jennifer Peyser, Responsible Business Alliance Senior Vice President of Responsible Sourcing, and Kimberly Gianopoulos, Managing Director for the International Affairs and Trade team at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO).

In this engaging two-hour Masterclass organized by SEMI, we explore the groundbreaking role of magnetic materials, particularly magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), in biomedical fields. The session commences with an in-depth review of the physics and synthesis of MNPs, including comprehensive discussions on fundamental theories, synthesis methods, and advanced MNP surface functionalization strategies. Attendees will gain insights into the characterization techniques used to analyze the physicochemical properties of MNPs.

The Masterclass transitions to the applications of MNPs in therapeutic and diagnostic contexts. We will review cutting-edge MNP-based therapies, such as magnetic hyperthermia therapy, targeted drug and gene delivery, and magnetic neurostimulation. In addition, we will discuss various MNP-based diagnostic techniques, including magnetoresistive (MR) sensing, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic particle imaging (MPI). A critical focus of this Masterclass will be on safety and biocompatibility issues associated with the use of MNPs in vivo, examining the toxicity of MNPs, immune responses, and their circulation time in the human body.

The latter part of the session will introduce participants to the innovative field of micromagnetic neural stimulation, an infant yet extremely promising field. We will delve into the design and efficacy of micromagnetic devices, such as the Magnetic Pen (MagPen) and Magnetic Patch (MagPatch) Array, which utilize micrometer-sized coils (μcoils) for targeted neural activation. This is particularly for patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and for reducing opioid dependency, with insights drawn from current research supported by the NIH Blueprint Medtech Program. By the end of the Masterclass, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the potential clinical applications of MNPs and MEMs-based micromagnetic neurostimulators.
