IMPORTANCE OF PHOTORESIST MATERIAL
Intense drive towards designing and fabricating material with small dimensions(0.1-1?m)
- Microelectronics business need to build devices containing increasing # of individual circuit elements
- The Photoresist technology as a step in the microlithography process
- Photoresist material: Polymeric resins can help create faster and smaller devices
- Imaging light sources of smaller wavelengths(UV spectrum ranges from 117nm-410nm)
- Traditional photoresist using 248nm resolve features between 0.25-0.18µm
