Those who can\u2019t do, teach. I\u2019ve never liked that old saying, mostly because I like to teach (and flatter myself that I\u2019m pretty good at it). I\u2019m teaching now at Notre Dame, but am also immersed in finishing my textbook, Fundamental Principles of Optical Lithography. I guess a corollary to that old saying might be \u201cthose who can\u2019t do, write.\u201d I guess I don\u2019t like that saying much either, but a slightly changed version is most certainly true: “Those who write can\u2019t do.” I can attest to the truth of this statement for one simple reason \u2013 writing a book is all consuming. If you really pour yourself into writing, you just don\u2019t have anything much left over to do<\/i> anything. At least that is the way it is for me. I hope to be finished by the end of the year (already 5 months past my deadline!), so until then I doubt I will get much done, including all the interesting articles I am planning for my web page. Ah well.<\/p>\n
BTW, for all the lithographers out there who are reading this, what do you want most out of a lithography textbook? Give me a shout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
