One of the main factors driving improvements in the cost and complexity of integrated circuits (ICs) is improvements in photolit

hography and the resulting ability to print ever-smaller features. Modern circuits are made using a variety of complicated lithography techniques, with the goal to make electronic traces as small and as close to each other as possible (to reduce the overall size, and thus increase the speed). In the end, though, all-optical techniques are limited by diffraction.
Assume we have a scannable laser that draws a line on a circuit board (the light exposes a line of photoresist, which then becomes impervious to a subsequent chemical etch, leaving only the narrow metal line under the exposed photoresist). Assume the laser wavelength is 248.0 nm (Krypton Fluoride excimer laser), the initial beam diameter is 1.0 cm, and the focusing lens (diameter = 1.3 cm) is extremely 'fast', with a focal length of only 0.625 cm.
a. What is the approximate width w of the line?
b. What is the minimum resolvable line separation between adjacent lines?
c. If the laser wavelength is instead reduced to 157 nm, what is the new minimum resolvable line separation?

Answer:

0.000003782 m

0.000001891 m

0.000001197125 m

Explanation:

\lambda = Wavelength = 248 nm

D = Diameter of beam = 1 cm

f = Focal length = 0.625 cm

The angle is given by

\theta=\dfrac{1.22\lambda}{D}

The width is given by

d=2\theta f\\\Rightarrow d=2\dfrac{1.22\lambda f}{D}\\\Rightarrow d=2\dfrac{1.22\times 248\times 10^{-9}\times 6.25\times 10^{-2}}{1\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow d=0.000003782\ m

The required width is 0.000003782 m

Minimum resolvable line separation is given by

\dfrac{0.000003782}{2}=0.000001891\ m

The minimum resolvable line separation between adjacent lines is 0.000001891 m

when \lambda=157\ nm

d=2\dfrac{1.22\times 157\times 10^{-9}\times 6.25\times 10^{-2}}{1\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow d=0.00000239425\ m

The new minimum resolvable line separation between adjacent lines is

\dfrac{0.00000239425}{2}=0.000001197125\ m

A solid object has a density of 2.85 g/cm3. According to Archimedes, what can be done to make this object float in water?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
2: It's not just the capillary action, but the pull from transpiration (the evaporation of water from the tree) that is used to pull water up from the roots. 

<span>The second question needs context. Strong bonds alone won't cause tension. I don't see how adhesion is different. High vapour pressure could do it, but it's the difference in pressures that'd cause tension (and the resistance of that pressure by the surface). So, a low and high pressure would be needed. Poorly worded question :( </span>

<span>1: "Adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar molecules to cling together due to attractive forces." [1] </span>

<span>3: The other three answere would not work. Think of a boat. </span>

<span>3: If you push gas, it will be compressed(get smaller). If you push liquid it will push something else. Thus, liquids are good for transferring force. This is a hydraulic system.</span>

What are the products of the double-replacement reaction between potassium bromide and silver nitrate? Name the resulting compou
timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

A double replacement reaction is a reaction in which two different compounds are mixed together and both their cations and anions get exchanged with each other respectively.

When potassium bromide reacts with silver nitrate then it results in the formation of potassium nitrate and silver bromide.

The chemical reaction equation is as follows.

        KBr + AgNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{3} + AgBr

Find the sum of the vectors:11 km N ,11km E
vladimir1956 [14]

The resultant vector is 11√2 km due north east.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The vector is a type of quantity which has both magnitude and direction. This quantities when expressed needs to specify both magnitude and direction.

We need to calculate the magnitude and direction separately.

Here firstly for the magnitude,

The magnitudes are both 11 km and they are at right angles to each other.

So, the resultant magnitude = √(11² +11²) km

=11√2 km

Now for the direction, one vector is due north and the other is due east.

So the resultant vector is due north east.

So the final vector is 11√2 km due North-East.
