| The mask pattern, formed by a photolithographic process, permits the creation of tiny transistors and other electronic components in the silicon. |
| For these applications it is applied by standard thin-film deposition and photolithographic techniques. |
| This considerable experience in this specific area allows us to point out and correct any inconsistencies from the editorial and photolithographic point of view. |
| The crystal wafer fabrication is located in Switzerland, using state-of-the art photolithographic technology. |
| Although this is near the photolithographic resolution limit, electron-beam lithography should be able to pattern at smaller resolution, potentially at or below 100 nm. |
| To do this, the scientists rely on the same photolithographic techniques used to make microchips. |
