Talk:Resist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Both this article and photoresist are well-written and informative. I do think that "photoresist" is a better article title. Alison Chaiken 04:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

I concur. I would just emphasize that photoresist can be used in printing and other fields not related to microchip or circuit board fabrication. Gerry Ashton 18:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to respond here to the suggestion that this article be merged with the photoresist article. I personally think that this would be a mistake, even if the photoresist article may be better written at this point. Photoresist refers specifically to photo-sensitive materials, while resists can in general be any material that resists a subsequent etching step (i.e. it can be exposed by radiation from other sources, or even not sensitive to radiation at all!). If there's a problem with this article, we should improve it, not abandon it. Kbwikipedia 13:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

This article is a mess. Kbwikipedia is right that not all resist is photoresist. However, this article rambles on about general topics in microfabrication and lithography, mentioning resists only tangentially. --Smack (talk) 03:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
