Semiconductor Photolithography Equipment
Semiconductor lithography, also called semiconductor photolithography, is a method of fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and microprocessors. It transfers a circuit image to a silicon wafer by exposing both silicon wafer and photomask to ultraviolet light and then projects the circuit image on the wafer. The shorter replacement cycles for electronic devices is a key factor driving the market growth.
