Microlithography

Describes both elementary and advanced aspects of sub micron micro lithography. This text covers optics, excimer laser light sources, and alignment techniques and analysis, as well as resist chemistry, multilayer lithography, plasma and reactive ion etching, and metrology. It discusses electron beam, x-ray and proximal probe techniques.
