Resist
Resist is a term used in multiple fields, including chemistry, microfabrication, and art. In each of these fields, the term has a unique meaning, but generally refers to a substance or technique used to protect a certain area from an unwanted process.
Chemistry[edit | edit source]
In chemistry, a resist is a substance used to protect a part of a surface during a process, such as etching. The resist can be applied to the surface in a pattern, allowing only certain parts of the surface to be affected by the process. This technique is often used in the creation of printed circuit boards.
Microfabrication[edit | edit source]
In microfabrication, a resist is a thin layer used to transfer a circuit pattern to the substrate. This is done using a process called photolithography, where the resist is exposed to UV light. The exposed areas of the resist become soluble and can be washed away, leaving behind the desired pattern.
Art[edit | edit source]
In art, a resist is a substance applied to a surface to prevent the absorption of paint or dye. This technique is often used in batik, a method of dyeing fabric, and in watercolor painting to create highlights and textures.
