Madou and postdoc Chunlei Wang broke this logjam by starting with
a standard computer chip patterning technology known as photolithography.
The standard computer chip — patterning technique, called photolithography, works by shining light through a prepatterned stencil onto a light - sensitive polymer that sits atop a wafer of silicon or another electronic material.
The new lenses also have the potential to be fabricated — at much lower cost — with
standard computer chip — making techniques.
