摘要
In this paper we describe the fabrication of a two-dimensional photonic band gap structure by focused electron beam induced deposition. Structure geometry is computed in order to create a light-trapping effect at 632 nm wavelength. Deposits produced using tetraethyl orthosilicate (SiO4C8H20) as precursor were studied to determine their chemical composition and geometrical, dimensions. The deposited material has a refractive index (n) over tilde = 1.85 + i 3.9 x 10(-4) at 632 nm. Transmission electron microscopy revealed deposits obtained at low currents (100 pA) are amorphous. The structure was deposited on a quartz prism, coated with a transparent conducting antimony-doped tin oxide layer to minimize electron beam drifts and distortions. Multiple beam re-alignments during the deposition assured drift compensation. Optical characterisation of the photonic band gap effect is currently under investigation. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
