            Abstract : 
This paper describes the latest result of F2 laser development in Japan. F2 laser lithography is expected to be applied to the 50 nm node process. Developments discussed are line-selected F2 laser (for catadioptric imaging system) and high power ultra line-narrowed F2 laser (for dioptric imaging system)
