Lithography

Lithography is a precise manufacturing process used to create detailed patterns on surfaces, especially in electronics like computer chips. It involves coating a surface with a light-sensitive material called a photoresist, then exposing it to light through a mold or mask with the desired pattern. The areas exposed to light are chemically altered, allowing engineers to develop and remove specific regions. This process enables the transfer of microscopic designs onto the surface, enabling the production of highly complex and miniaturized components essential for modern technology.
