Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made the first direct measurements of the infinitesimal expansion and collapse of thin polymer films used in the ...

The submicron light sources are realized only by the normal UV photolithography process, enabling the realization of submicron light sources with arbitrary patterns. A novel and efficient method for ...

Image transfer, also known as photolithography (or simply, lithography), plays a crucial role in defining the circuit patterns on a panel. With photolithography, IC substrate manufacturers can ...

(Nanowerk News) Integrated optical signal distributing, processing, and sensing networks require the miniaturization of basic optical elements, such as waveguides, splitters, gratings, and optical ...

The ability to create materials with well-defined characteristics at the micro-and sub-micrometer dimensions is critical in a broad range of research fields and enterprises, from microelectronic chips ...

Samsung Electronics has reportedly reduced its use of thick photoresist (PR) in the photolithography process for its latest 3D NAND flash, achieving significant cost savings. This move, however, could ...

The electronics industry is trending toward the microscale. Consumer devices keep getting smaller, and increasingly popular medical applications require tiny form factors. Addressing those ...
