Sentences with phrase «of photoresist»

Not exact matches

• Inpria, a Corvallis, Ore. - based provider of high - resolution photoresists, raised $ 23.5 million in funding.

The team — led by physicist Andrew Turberfield and chemist Bob Denning, both of the University of Oxford, United Kingdom — started by building photoresist films thick enough to carve a 3D matrix out of.

First, a film of photosensitive material, or photoresist, is applied onto a silicon wafer.

Similar to film used in photography, photoresist, also just called resist, is used to lay down the patterns of ever - shrinking lines and features on a chip.

But there's one component of the chip - making process in need of an overhaul if Moore's law is to continue: the chemical mixture called photoresist.

Using the Nanofabrication and Imaging and Manipulation facilities at the Molecular Foundry to analyze the patterns, the researchers saw improvements in the smoothness of lines created by the photoresist, even as they shrunk the width.

Furthermore, researchers were able to tune and increase the amount of X-rays the photopolymer resists could absorb, improving attenuation by more than 10 times over the photoresists commonly used for the technique.

The technique bypasses the usual diffraction limit of other methods because the photoresist material that cures and hardens to create structures — previously a trade secret — simultaneously absorbs two photons instead of one.

Because the laser light refracts as it passes through the photoresist material, the linchpin to solving the puzzle, the researchers said, was «index matching» — discovering how to match the refractive index of the resist material to the immersion medium of the lens so the laser could pass through unimpeded.

Suzanne McClelland, Runners Up (detail), 2014 — 16, ninety - nine pieces of sandblasted, fused glass with photoresist.
