Photolithography

🌐 Overview Photolithography is a microfabrication process used to transfer extremely precise patterns onto a surface, most commonly a silicon wafer used in semiconductor manufacturing. The technique relies on light-sensitive chemical coatings and optical exposure to create patterns that define electronic circuits, transistors, and microscopic structures. Photolithography is the foundational technology that enables the fabrication […]

A microprocessor is a programmable integrated circuit that performs the central processing functions of a computer within a single semiconductor chip. It executes instructions, performs arithmetic and logic operations, manages data flow, and coordinates system components. In essence, it is the “brain” of modern electronic systems. Since their emergence in the early 1970s, microprocessors have
