Keywordsx-ray spectrometer, lithography, CCDCollegePhysical and Mathematical SciencesDepartmentPhysics and AstronomyAbstractCell phones, computers, and other electronics seem to get smaller while their speed and efficiency seem to increase—proving that bigger is not better in this realm. One of the main technologies that has been driving these improvements is lithography, the process by which light is used to etch out the component features on the microchips.
