photoimageable
Photoimageable refers to a material's ability to undergo a chemical change when exposed to light. This change alters the material's properties, making it selectively soluble or insoluble in a developing solution. This characteristic is fundamental to photolithography, a key process in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards and semiconductors.
A photoimageable material, often referred to as a photoresist, is typically a polymer dissolved in a solvent.
The precise chemical composition and sensitivity to different wavelengths of light vary depending on the specific
