Brewer Science’s Dr. Douglas Guerrero to Deliver Keynote at MNC 2025 in Japan
Exploring how device and process integration have impacted material design
Tokyo, Japan. – November 18, 2025 – Brewer Science, Inc., a global leader in developing and manufacturing next-generation materials and processes for the microelectronics and optoelectronics industries, is pleased to announce that Dr. Douglas Guerrero, Senior Technologist, will present a keynote address at the International Microprocesses and Nanotechnology Conference (MNC 2025) in Japan on November 17, 2025. His keynote, titled “Impact of Device Process Integration in Material Design,” will examine how holistic process integration and advanced materials are driving innovation in semiconductor manufacturing.
Key Highlights from the Presentation:
- Beyond Wavelength Scaling: Brewer Science advocates for a holistic approach—integrating device design, lithography, tools, and materials—to enable future technology nodes.
- Advanced Material Solutions: Material innovations, such as bottom antireflective coatings, multilayer materials, and underlayers for complex reflection control and lithography processes, are key enablers for next-generation technology, including advanced ArF and EUV lithography.
- Supporting FinFET and GAA Architectures: Brewer Science’s high-temperature carbon layers, gapfilling, and implant masking solutions address challenges in dynamic annealing and device integrity.
- Quality at Scale: With nearly 1,000 process steps in advanced node manufacturing, Brewer Science drives near-perfect material performance— achieving trace metals below 50 ppt and thickness tolerances within 0.3 nm —to deliver yields exceeding 99.99%.
“Innovative materials alone are not enough,” said Dr. Guerrero. “We need integrated solutions and rigorous quality systems to meet the demands of advanced nodes and deliver reliable, high-performance devices.”
Dr. Guerrero will also share insights into future architectures like stacked CFETs, which promise significant cell size reductions through vertical integration, and discuss how material design will continue to play a pivotal role in enabling these breakthroughs.
In a second invited talk, Dr. Guerrero will present Brewer Science’s latest technology efforts towards supporting sustainable manufacturing processes. In his talk “Room Temperature Lithography Processes”, he will describe how new materials are enabling faster throughput and lower energy consumption to enable semiconductor manufacturing to achieve sustainability targets.
You can attend Dr. Guerrero’s presentation at MNC Japan on November 18, 2025, at 4:50pm in Room A and online. The presentation is a part of Symposium A: Evolving Challenges in Lithography in the AI Era II. You can view the full conference program on MNC 2025 website.
