The fabrication of an integrated circuit requires a variety ofphysical and chemical processes to be performed on a semiconductorsubstrate. In general, these processes fall into three categories:film deposition, patterning, and semiconductor doping. Films ofboth conductors and insulators are used to connect and isolatetransistors and their components.
By creating structures of these various components millions oftransistors can be built and wired together to form the complexcircuitry of modern microelectronic devices. Fundamental to all ofthese processes is lithography, ie, the formation ofthree-dimensional relief images on the substrate for subsequenttransfer of the pattern to the substrate.
This book presents a complete theoretical and practicaltreatment of the topic of lithography for both students andresearchers. It comprises ten detailed chapters plus threeappendices with problems provided at the end of each chapter.
