LESSON 4
NANOTECHNOLOGY

Nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system,


equal to one billionth of the meter (10⁹).

Technology is the making, usage, and knowledge


of tools, machines and techniques in order to
solve a problem or perform a specific function.

Nanotechnology Lithography
 study of manipulating matter on an atomic scale. - printing process that uses a flat stone or metal plate on which the
 constructing and engineering of the functional systems at image areas are worked using a greasy substance so that the ink will
very microlevel adhere to them by, while the non-image areas are made ink-repellent.
