Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

During an experiment, you must decide whether to use wet or dry etching to create a nanostructure with precise detail. Discuss the criteria to make this choice.

💡 Hint: Evaluate the consequences of lost detail against time savings.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze the potential results of using isotropic etching on a design intended for a high-density integrated circuit configuration.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the integration density and how feature dimensions impact performance.
