Semiconductor Deposition

Summary : Lithography has long been regarded as the queen of wafer fabrication in the drive towards submicron geometries. But, in recent years problems with depth-of-focus and materials have limited lithography's ability to drive the industry. Consequently, it has yielded its crown to thin film deposition.
