Steps of Lithography:
Develop Exposed Photoresist
Positive Resist:
Exposed region removed
Negative Resist:
Unexposed region removed

Assignment 1
Design the Mask Sets for the following circuits:
Lithographic Imperfections
Undercut
Lines become narrow Disconnection
Bulge
Lines become wider Shorts to adjacent line
Misalignment
Channel short Circuit
Design Rules
Takes care of manufacturing tolerances Specifies minimum allowed dimensions
Line width Spacing between lines on same layer Spacing between lines on different layers Overlap between features where required Diffusion requires higher tolerance
