Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
photoresistA film used in photolithography that temporarily holds the pattern of a circuit path or microscopic element of a chip. When exposed to light, it hardens and is resistant to the acid bath that washes away the unexposed areas. Not to be confused with photoresistor. photoresist [′fōd·ō·ri‚zist] (graphic arts) A light-sensitive coating that is applied to a substrate or board, exposed, and developed prior to chemical etching; the exposed areas serve as a mask for selective etching.

To develop an alternative approach, Folch and his colleagues laid down ridges of photoresist on a silicon wafer. The photoresist is hardened by exposure to light and then goes through several fabrication steps that uncover well-defined regions of the wafer surface and harden that surface to withstand subsequent fabrication steps. NASDAQ: ACLS) has received a significant follow-on order for over 10 RadiantStrip 320 photoresist dry strip systems from a major memory device manufacturer. |
