What Does CAR Stand For?
CAR stands for Chemically Amplified Resist
Chemically Amplified Resist (CAR) is a type of photoresist used in photolithography, which is a critical process in semiconductor manufacturing. CAR utilizes a chemical amplification mechanism that enhances the sensitivity and resolution of the resist material when exposed to radiation, typically UV light. This process allows for the formation of finer features on silicon wafers, ultimately improving the performance and efficiency of microelectronic devices. CAR materials are crucial for advanced technology nodes, enabling the production of smaller, more complex integrated circuits.
