NWO Vidi grant awarded to Oscar Versolato

Nanolithography with extreme-ultraviolet  light will enable shrinking chips to ever smaller sizes. However, the generation of EUV light remains a challenge. When asked about his motivation Versolato says, “I intend to meet this challenge by building a strong scientific base that will underpin more stable and powerful laser-produced plasma sources of EUV light.”

The NWO Vidi grant is aimed at experienced researchers who have carried out successful research for a number of years after obtaining their PhDs. Together with Veni and Vici, Vide is part of the NWO Talent Scheme. Researchers in the NWO Talent Scheme are free to submit their own subject for funding. NWO thus encourages curiosity-driven and innovative research.
