#4 (Oct. 22) Photolithgraphy -What is photolithgraphy? -Thin-film patterning using phtolithgraphy -Applications of photolithgraphy -Trends in minimum pattern sizes
What Is Photolithgraphy? Photo + Lithograph Technologies to replicate patterns on a photomask to substrates or thin films on the substrates by using photo-chemical reaction photoresist Thin film on a substrate Photomask
What Is Photoresit A material that changes its solubility to developer by irradiation of light (ultraviolet or X ray) and electron beam Changes: (1) Non-soluble to solvable (positive-type photoresist) (2) Soluble to non-soluble (negative-type photoresist)
Composition of Photoresist Sensitizer
Change of Sensitizer by UV Irradiation Non-soluble Soluble
Purposes and Features of Photolithography Purposes -Fabrication of electron devices such as LSIs -Fabrication of micromachines -Packaging of LSIs and micromachines Features -Minimum size of 1 mm or less is achievable -Batch process -Pattern repetition
