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

Light intensity is?
Fittoniya [83]
The correct answer is:
<span>The rate at which a waves energy flows through a given unit of area

In fact, light intensity is defined as the light power per unit of area:
</span>I= \frac{P}{A}
<span>but the power is the energy carried by the light per unit of time:
</span>P= \frac{E}{t}
<span>this means that the intensity can be rewritten as
</span>I= \frac{E}{tA}<span>
So, it's basically the rate of energy (per unit of time) through a given surface.</span>

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m  - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j   + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the sum of the external torques on it  must also be zero.

The net external force and the net external torque acting on the object have to be zero for an object to be in mechanical equilibrium.

Hence, the given statement is true.
