Tuning Photoresist Adhesion with HMDS: Deep Dive into Photolithography
In the fields of semiconductor manufacturing and microfabrication, photolithography is an essential technique that creates intricate patterns on substrate surfaces. The patterning process is used frequently in electronics, microfluidics, and sensors and creates a protective layer from additional manufacturing processes and mechanical wear during its final application. To create these patterns, a mask and photoresist are applied to the substrate and exposed to light. After exposure, the photoresist is developed using a chemical solution, and the unexposed sections of the photoresist are dissolved, resulting in the desired pattern.
