     2. (Technology) Something that resists or prevents a certain
        action; specif.: A substance applied to a surface, as of
        metal, or of a silicon wafer, to prevent the action on it

        surface if not protected. The resist is usually applied or

        surface may be modified in a complementary pattern.
