Photolithography

They were etched into the slide using a process called photolithography. ❋ Kevin Davies (2010)

Click and drag to move the map around. it's a process called photolithography the chips are fabricated on silicon, which has a natrual conductivity to electricity. ❋ Daveallen7 (2010)

Conventional MEMS are built through a process called photolithography, in which different layers of material are chemically deposited on a substrate - usually a wafer of some semiconducting material - and etched away to form functional patterns. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)

Silicon chips are made using photolithography, which is, at its heart, a process that involves making a photographic image of the circuit on a silicon wafer. ❋ Chris Lee (2010)

The process also produces a wafer, which is then exposed to photosensitive chemicals -- in a process known as photolithography to allow the transfer of circuitry to the wafer.

After depositing the structure on a silicon wafer, the team used a process called photolithography to define intricate electric paths and circuits on the tube. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The masks that produce the features of a chip are made by a process called photolithography, in which light is used to etch a pattern on a photosensitive surface. ❋ Unknown (2009)

One of the ways that microprocessors are made is by using a top-down technique called photolithography, which involves shining light onto the surface of a silicon wafer, and making patterns. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The manufactuing technique or process is called 'photolithography'. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The aforementioned chip suppliers are obvious winners, but the world's leading photolithography maker, ASML, is probably less obvious and requires some additional explanation. ❋ Rick Whittington (2011)

Thus developers press integrated circuits to become denser, therefore accommodating more components; but at some point the process that produces them, photolithography, becomes limited by the wavelength of light. ❋ W. Brain Arthur (2009)

To make the self-assembling containers, (researcher David) Gracias and his colleagues begin with some of the same techniques used to make microelectronic circuits: thin film deposition, photolithography and electrodeposition. ❋ Unknown (2005)
