Dr Asaad Kareem Edaan, a Lecturer at Polymer Research Centre, presented a seminar entitled
"Etching in MEMS technology and semiconductor industry"
The presentation covered the etching technology which is considered an important topic in electronics. Etching is the removal of a layer from a material's surface. Assisted by photolithography where features in a particular shape is patterned, a thin-film/layer from the material of interest can be removed. Etching is an essential step in the fabrication process required to create micro- and nano-electromechanical systems as well as ultra-small electronic components.
