Screenless lithography is a reprographic technique for halftoning dating to 1855, when the French chemist and civil engineer Alphonse Poitevin discovered the light sensitive properties of bichromated gelatin and invented both the photolithography and collotype processes. After the invention of the halftone screen in the 1880s, screenless lithography was abandoned. Until the end of World War II, two kinds of photomechanically made plates were used in lithography albumin plates and deep etch plates. Presensitized plates appeared in the 1950s, and wipe on plates appeared in the 1960s. By the mid 1960s research on screenless lithography had successfully developed in Europe to the stage where continuous tone plates could be manufactured for use with positive film images. Researchers discovered that under certain conditions the combination of fine plate grain and the newly developed plate coatings produced a plate capable of holding nearly all of the tones from a continuous tone positive . Commercial use of this plate has not flourished today it is still in limited use, primarily because the continuous tone printing plate technology is expensive and necessitates stringent quality control. Since the late 1960s artists and printers have been experimenting with these new plates, using photomechanical film and handmade positives made from thin translucent or transparent plastic sheets and a variety of drawing and painting materials. Screenless lithography has been incorrectly referred to as diazo plate lithography and PET film biaxially oriented Mylar lithography.

Orphan date November 2010 Mergefrom Nanostencil date September 2009 Stencil lithography is a novel method of fabricating nanometer scale patterns. It is a resist less, simple, parallel nanolithography process, and it does not involve any heat or chemical treatment of the substrates unlike resist based techniques . Image StencilLithography.jpg Schematic of stencil lithography History Stencil lithography was first reported in a scientific journal as a micro structuring technique by S. Grey and P. K. Weimer in 1959. They used long stretched metallic wires as shadow masks during metal deposition. Various materials can be used as membranes, such as metals, Si, Si sub x sub N sub y sub , and polymers. Today the stencil apertures can be scaled down to sub micrometer size at full 4 wafer scale. This is called a nanostencil . Nano scale stencil apertures have been fabricated using laser interference lithography LIL , electron beam lithography , and focused ion beam lithography. Processes Several process are available using stencil lithography material deposition and etching, as well as implantation of ions. Different stencil requirements are necessary for the various processes, e. g. an extra etch resistant layer on the backside of the stencil for etching if the membrane material is sensitive to the etching process or a conductive layer on the backside of the stencil for ion implantation.

Quantum lithography is a type of photolithography , which exploits non classical properties of the photons, such as quantum entanglement , in order to achieve superior performance over ordinary classical lithography. Quantum lithography is closely related to the fields of quantum imaging , quantum metrology , and http www.darpa.mil sto space qsp.html quantum sensing . The effect exploits the quantum mechanical state of light called the NOON state . Quantum lithography was invented at Jonathan P. Dowling s group at JPL , ref http link.aps.org abstract PRL v85 p2733 A.N.Boto, et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 2733 2000 ref and has been studied by a number of groups. ref http link.aps.org abstract PRL v86 p4516 G.Bj rk, et al., Phys. M.D Angelo, et al., Rev. Lett. 86, 4516 2001 ref Of particular importance, quantum lithography can beat the classical Rayleigh criterion for the diffraction limit. Classical photolithography has an optical imaging resolution that cannot be smaller than the wavelength of light used. For example, in the use of photolithography to mass produce computer chips, it is desirable to produce smaller and smaller features on the chip, which classically requires moving to smaller and smaller wavelengths ultraviolet and x ray , which entails exponentially greater cost to produce the optical imaging systems at these extremely short optical wavelengths. Quantum lithography exploits the quantum entanglement between specially prepared photons in the NOON state to achieve the smaller resolution without the requirement of shorter wavelengths. For example, a beam of red photons, entangled ten at a time in the NOON state, would have the same resolving power as a beam of x ray photons. The field of quantum lithography is in its infancy, and although experimental proofs of principal ...

Multiphoton lithography also known as direct laser lithography or direct laser writing of polymer templates has been known for years by the photonic crystal community. Similar to standard photolithography techniques, structuring is accomplished by illuminating negative tone or positive tone photoresist s via light of a well defined wavelength. The fundamental difference is, however, the avoidance of reticles. Instead, two photon absorption is utilized to induce a dramatic change in the solubility of the resist for appropriate developers. Hence, multiphoton lithography is a technique for creating small features in a photosensitive material, without the use of complex optics optical systems or photomask s. This method relies on a multi photon absorption process in a material that is transparent at the wavelength of the laser used for creating the pattern. By scanning and properly modulating the laser, a chemical change usually polymerization occurs at the focal spot of the laser and can be controlled to create an arbitrary three dimensional periodic or non periodic pattern. This method has been used for rapid prototyping of structures with fine features. Since two photon absorption is a third order, non linear process several orders of magnitude weaker than linear absorption, very high light intensities are required to increase the number of such rare events. For example, tightly focused laser beams provide the needed intensities. Here, pulsed laser sources are preferred as they deliver high intensity pulses while depositing a relatively low average energy. To enable 3D structuring, the light source must be adequately adapted to the photoresist in that single photon absorption is highly suppressed while two photon absorption is favored. This condition is met if and only if the resist ... lithography journal Optics Express volume 15 issue 6 pages 3426 36 doi 10.1364 OE.15.003426 pmid 19532584 bibcode 2007OExpr..15.3426H refend Reflist Category Optics Category Lithography microfabrication ... more details

unreferenced date October 2011 Offset Lithography. The offset Lithography process has quality checks embedded to make sure the process runs smoothly and that there is a high grade of printing. The paper that is being used is visually inspected to make sure there are no rips or damaged pieces of paper. The chemical plate is checked so that there is a right amount of chemical solution applied to the plate so that when the offset cylinder touches the paper that there aren t any smudges appearing on the paper. During the printing process an operator has to check that there is no smudging between two or more sheets, where the ink is just coming off, if this does happen then quicker drying ink or a higher quality paper is required. After the printing has taken place there has to be a check for quality on colour, image, shapes and type and other preference. Quality control of the registration marks ensures that any colours producing beyond the edges of the bar are corrected immediately, a printing colour for each colour means that this could easily go wrong if a plate is not set up to a precision, this means it will look out of focus and blurry which then means this product is not at it s high quality.

Built in San Francisco in 1921, the Schmidt Lithography Co. Clock Tower was once headquarters to the Max Schmidt Lithography Company, once the largest printing company on the west coast. The Clock Tower s building occupies two blocks at Second and Bryant Streets and was rumored to have once housed handball and volleyball courts, roof gardens and a hospital for the Lithography company. ref SF Museum 2010 .

The proximity effect in electron beam lithography EBL is the phenomenon that the exposure dose distribution, and hence the developed pattern, is wider than the scanned pattern, due to the interactions of the primary beam electrons with the resist and Substrate materials science substrate . These cause the resist outside the scanned pattern to receive a non zero dose. Important contributions to weak resist polymer chain scission for positive resists or crosslinking for negative resists come from electron forward scattering and backscattering. The forward scattering process is due to electron electron interactions which deflect the primary electrons by a typically small angle, thus statistically broadening the beam in the resist and further in the substrate . The majority of the electrons do not stop in the resist but penetrate the substrate. These electrons can still contribute to resist exposure by scattering back into the resist and causing subsequent inelastic exposing processes. This backscattering process originates e.g. from a collision with a heavy particle i.e. substrate nucleus and leads to wide angle scattering of the light electron from a range of depths micrometres in the substrate. The Rutherford backscattering probability increases quickly with substrate nuclear charge. The above effects can be approximated by a simple two gaussian model where a perfect point like electron beam is broadened to a superposition of a gaussian with a width math alpha math of a few nanometers to order 10 s of nanometers, depending on the acceleration voltage, due to forward scattering and a gaussian with a width math beta math of the order of a few micrometers to order 10 s due to backscattering, again depending on the acceleration voltage but also on the materials involved math PSF r frac 1 pi 1 eta left frac 1 alpha 2 e frac r 2 alpha 2 frac eta beta 2 e frac r 2 beta 2 right ... backscattering.
