Why photomasks are laser etched but ICs arent

[QUOTE="analogdesign, post: 5466052, member: 485940"] I wouldn't say "most" of the engineering problems are due to photolithography, although it is a very challenging area of wafer production. f95toli is correct that any kind of direct writing of features on a wafer would be [B]much, much, much[/B] [B]more expensive[/B] than mass producing with a mask and photolithography. Like many things in the IC business, it is an economic decision as much as a feasibility decision. [/QUOTE]
