High Resolution Dry Film Imaging for Photochemical Machining
Most current dry film photoresists are capable of achieving
accurate 3 mil line and space imaging resolution, when using
modem processing equipment and careful process control.
Certain.special dry film types can resolve geometries down to as
little as 1 mil lines and spaces. Thus, the major limiting factors in
producing high resolution images with dry film have proven to
be process-related, not photographic limitations in the dry film
itself. Specifically, use of equipment capable of high intensity
exposure and high impact spray development is particularly
important.
