Photolithography
Welcome ! Here you should find all the information you need to understand, plan and manage the photolithography steps of your project. If you are new to CMi, please read through all three sections:
– Introduction to photolithography – Theory
– Process flow – Planning
– Photolithography in CMi – Processing
If you wish to dig deeper into certain topics, some links to external resources are provided. The Photolithography team is also available to answer any questions you may have.
