EMLC 2020 | June 22 - 24 | Leuven | Belgium - Welcome Page

About

In 2021, the EMLC will have a new look - as a one-day online event!

However, the focus of this new event remains unchanged: the main topics are state-of-the-art of mask technology and lithography, such as mask manufacturing, mask business, lithography and mask applications, emerging mask & lithography technologies, and mask & lithography equipment.

Target Audience

The EMLC Conference annually brings together scientists, researchers, engineers and developers from around the world to present innovations at the forefront of research, manufacturing and application.

It provides a place where specialists from industry and advanced research as well as equipment and software providers become acquainted with new developments and results.
