  thin layer of oxide about 75 angstroms deep (an angstrom is one ten-billionth of a meter). Nearly every layer that is deposited on the wafer must be patterned accurately into the shape of the transistors and other electronic elements.

A coatingon the surface of the wafer, called the photoresist or resist, changes...
