b. Mask Making
c. Epitaxy
d. Photo-lithography
ANSWER: Photo-lithography
Photo-lithography basically deals with the photo-engraving technique where the silicon wafer is coated with a photo-resist along with an exposure to UV light.
However, the exposed portions of resist are completely removed by keeping the unexposed areas at an intact or an integral level
