Tossup
Hydrogen sil·sesqui·oxane is a metal-free version of these materials whose low dielectric constant makes it ideal for exposure to electrons. Other commonly used examples of these materials include PMMA, DNQ-novolac, and a cross-linked polymer with eight epoxy groups, called SU-8. When exposed to a mercury vapor lamp, these materials are differentiable based on whether they expose an area or protect it, leading to their positive/negative distinction. Exposure to plasma can remove these materials in a process known as ashing. In microfabrication, these materials are commonly used to mask substrates to protect them from degrading during etching. For 10 points, name these light-sensitive materials that can be used to coat silicon wafers in lithography or to create a patterned surface in photoengraving. ■END■
