摘要
A two-layer resist system consisting of 3 nm titanium and 65 nm polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has been developed to expand the potential of mechanical atomic force microscope nanolithography. Approximately 20 nm wide structures have been grooved in an ultrathin Ti film. The realized Ti patterns were transferred into the PMMA bottom layer by an reactive ion etching (RIE) process in oxygen. Finally, 30 nm wide and 45 nm deep grooves, and arrays of holes with a period of 55 nm, which are 20-30 nm in diameter and 45 nm in depth, have been fabricated in silicon by a second RIE step in a SF6+O-2 gas mixture.
