New Techniques For Small Features

Making use of ultraviolet light to make tiny patters in formulating Computer chips and nanotechnology applications is called photolithography. This process creates a pattern using the light to set down or relocate materials. A new technique RAPID is developed by John Fourkas research group, who is a Professor of Maryland University. Resolution Augmentation through Photo-Induced Deactivation known as RAPID does not require ultraviolet light to create small features. RAPID is a light source which hardens and carves the small features which is 2500 times smaller than human hair. This method creates small features twenty times smaller than the earlier method. RAPID can be widely used in the field of electronics, bio medical science and optics.
