摘要
A negative-tone sensitive SiO2/TiO2 organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel material was synthesized and characterized for fabrication of multilevel micro-optical elements by direct electron-beam lithography. The exposure was carried out by an in-house modified electron-beam writing system using LEO SEM-982 with Elphy Quantum exposure beam-blanking control system at 25keV. The hybrid Sol-Gel material demonstrated a superb sensitivity for doses between 0.22muC/cm(2) and 0.33muC/cm(2). (C) 2002 Optical Society of America.
