Improving Lithography Efficiency with the P3L System

A lithography technique called peripheral photoinhibition (PPI) direct laser writing (DLW) is used to create complex 3D nanostructures that are frequently used in photonics and electronics. PPI-DLW employs two beams: one to excite the substrate and promote polymerization, while the other inhibits and quenches the excitation at the margins.
