What Does DUV Stand For?

DUV stands for Deep Ultraviolet

DUV, or Deep Ultraviolet, refers to a range of ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths typically between 200 and 300 nanometers. This spectrum is significant in various scientific and industrial applications, including photolithography in semiconductor manufacturing, sterilization of surfaces, and analytical techniques in chemistry and biology. DUV radiation is effective in breaking chemical bonds, making it a valuable tool in materials processing and the study of biological effects of UV exposure. Its applications extend to environmental monitoring and the development of advanced optical materials.
