Spire Corp. was awarded a $750,000 Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) project from the Department of Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop a terahertz-based standoff detection imager. The imager will emit terahertz "light" that, when deflected off individuals, can capture images of hidden weapons or explosives in clothing or nonmetal containers. Spire, a Bedford, Mass., maker of biomedical devices, solar energy manufacturing equipment and optoelectric components, said it will develop the imager in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts Lowell Submillimeter Wave Technology Laboratory. . . .    Newport News, Va.-based Dilon Technologies LLC, a manufacturer of high-resolution molecular imaging systems, announced that the first European installation of the Dilon 6800 gamma camera, used primarily as an adjunct to mammography, will be this month in the Royal Free Hospital in London. The company also announced that Medical Imaging Systems Inc., headquartered in Ontario, will lead sales of Dilon's products across Canada, while AG Medical Group will be its Pan-European distributor.    . . .    Tokyo Electron Ltd. (TEL), a supplier of semiconductor production equipment, has extended its collaboration into advanced lithography technologies research with Imec, a nanoelectronics and nanotechnology independent research center headquartered in Leuven, Belgium. TEL will install two 300-mm Clean Track systems at Imec in 2006; the coater/developers will be used for research into EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography and hyper NA 193-nm immersion lithography over the next three years. EUV lithography is widely expected to become the successor to 193-nm immersion lithography in advanced patterning techniques, potentially to be introduced for the 32-nm node, according to the companies.

Glossary
lithography
Lithography is a key process used in microfabrication and semiconductor manufacturing to create intricate patterns on the surface of substrates, typically silicon wafers. It involves the transfer of a desired pattern onto a photosensitive material called a resist, which is coated onto the substrate. The resist is then selectively exposed to light or other radiation using a mask or reticle that contains the pattern of interest. The lithography process can be broadly categorized into several...
radiation
The emission and/or propagation of energy through space or through a medium in the form of either waves or corpuscular emission.
terahertz
Terahertz (THz) refers to a unit of frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, denoting waves with frequencies between 0.1 and 10 terahertz. One terahertz is equivalent to one trillion hertz, or cycles per second. The terahertz frequency range falls between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Key points about terahertz include: Frequency range: The terahertz range spans from approximately 0.1 terahertz (100 gigahertz) to 10 terahertz. This corresponds to...
