2Photolithography — For earlier uses of photolithography in printing, see Lithography. For the same process applied to metal, see Photochemical machining. Photolithography (or optical lithography ) is a process used in microfabrication to selectively remove parts of …
3Ohmic contact — An ohmic contact is a region on a semiconductor device that has been prepared so that the current voltage (I V) curve of the device is linear and symmetric. If the I V characteristic is non linear and asymmetric, the contact is not ohmic, but is… …
4materials science — the study of the characteristics and uses of various materials, as glass, plastics, and metals. [1960 65] * * * Study of the properties of solid materials and how those properties are determined by the material s composition and structure, both… …
5Wafer (electronics) — Polished 12 and 6 silicon wafers. The flat cut into the right wafer indicates its doping and crystallographic orientation (see below) …
6Synthetic biology — is a new area of biological research that combines science and engineering. It encompasses a variety of different approaches, methodologies, and disciplines with a variety of definitions. What they all have in common, however, is that they see… …
7DNA microarray — A DNA microarray (also commonly known as gene chip, DNA chip, or biochip) is a collection of microscopic DNA spots attached to a solid surface. Scientists use DNA microarrays to measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes… …
8Chemical-mechanical planarization — Chemical Mechanical Polishing/Planarization is a process of smoothing surfaces with the combination of chemical and mechanical forces. It can be thought of as a hybrid of chemical etching and free abrasive polishing. Contents 1 Description 2… …
9computer — computerlike, adj. /keuhm pyooh teuhr/, n. 1. Also called processor. an electronic device designed to accept data, perform prescribed mathematical and logical operations at high speed, and display the results of these operations. Cf. analog… …
10Diffraction grating — A very large reflecting diffraction grating. In optics, a diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic structure, which splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions. The directions of these beams …
