Abstract
International SEMATECH has been a focal point for the 157nm effort worldwide. Since beginning the program in 1998, ISMT has provided forums for information dissemination ona semi- annual basis. The ability to develop a consensus to identify the most pressing critical issues has permitted the industry to develop this technology more rapidly than any other has been developed. There are still many issues that remain, but even the unexpected have been addressed and solutions put in place. There is a lesson to be learned that a concerted effort involving the entire industry can provide solutions to even the most difficult problems. The development is not completed, but the end is in sight. 157 nm lithography will be developed faster than any other technology due to the entire industry working in concert.
