#'''Substrate pretreatment''': In many processes it is recommended to <u>[[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/Pretreatment|pretreat or prime]]</u> your wafer before spin-coating. In some <u>[[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/Coaters|spin-coaters]]</u>, these pretreatment processes are included in the spin coating of resist.

##Positive tone resist: Resist exposed to UV light will be dissolved in the developer. For mask aligners, the mask openings are an exact copy of the resist pattern which is to remain on the wafer.
#*Positive tone resist: Resist exposed to UV light will be dissolved in the developer. For mask aligners, the mask openings are an exact copy of the resist pattern which is to remain on the wafer.
##Negative tone resist: Resist exposed to UV light will become polymerized and difficult to dissolve. For mask aligners, the mask openings are an ''inverse'' copy of the resist pattern which is to remain on the wafer.

#'''Thickness of resist''': In general, it is recommended to work at, or below, an aspect ratio of ~1, i.e. where the feature sizes of the pattern, is larger than the thickness of the resist. Furthermore, when you decide on the resist thickness, consider which transfer you need:

##For <u>[[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/LiftOff|lift-off]]</u> processes, we recommend resist thickness at least 5 times larger than the thickness of the metal to be lifted.
#*For <u>[[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/LiftOff|lift-off]]</u> processes, we recommend resist thickness at least 5 times larger than the thickness of the metal to be lifted.
##For dry etch or wet etch processes, investigate the resist etch rate of your process, as this might limit the ''minimum'' thickness of your resist.
