Paper Numbering: Proceedings of SPIE follow an e-First publication model. A unique citation identifier (CID) number is assigned to each article at the time of publication. Utilization of CIDs allows articles to be fully citable as soon as they are published online, and connects the same identifier to all online and print versions of the publication. SPIE uses a seven-digit CID article numbering system structured as follows:

  • The first five digits correspond to the SPIE volume number.

  • The last two digits indicate publication order within the volume using a Base 36 numbering system employing both numerals and letters. These two-number sets start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B … 0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc. The CID Number appears on each page of the manuscript.

Authors

Numbers in the index correspond to the last two digits of the seven-digit citation identifier (CID) article numbering system used in Proceedings of SPIE. The first five digits reflect the volume number. Base 36 numbering is employed for the last two digits and indicates the order of articles within the volume. Numbers start with 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 0A, 0B…0Z, followed by 10-1Z, 20-2Z, etc.

Introduction

The Metrology, Inspection, and Process Control for Microlithography XXXIII conference started with metrology challenges of state of the art silicon based quantum devices. While quantum devices are all about entanglement, quantum was not the only entanglement in the conference. Edge Placement Error (EPE) metrology approaches were presented to address the entanglement between metrology and inspection, and within metrology the entanglement of CD uniformity, roughness, 3D, pattern placement, and overlay errors. Various approaches were presented; from an all in one solution to a heterogeneous fleets of different perspectives of metrology and inspection to novel technologies, fused by artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence was also studied from the metrological challenges raised by the new devices enabling it. CPU’s, GPU’s, and TPU’s and future solutions all reviewed in invited tutorials you can read about in these Proceedings. As technology nodes shrink and structures become more complex, many novel technologies were introduced, and workhorse ones were improved.

Hopefully these Proceedings become a reference and foundation for future work. This comes with a bigger hope that the readers come back, and submit a paper telling others of novel achievements, and sharing interesting results of scientific merit to keep fueling the conference audience interest.

Dear readers,

Looking forward to seeing your submissions, presented next year on the podium, or interacting with the audience next to your poster.

Thank you.
