19 Photolithography 1990 1992 2015 The average human hair is ~70 microns across COSTAR Optics 7/10 th hair 1/1000 th hair 1/300 th hair Optical Fringe Pattern: Demonstrates line accuracy and feature size Photolithography COSTAR corrective optics represent a great improvement in photolithography. Photolithography is a key process for improving transistor density on a chip. 19
