摘要
The paper describes an electron beam lithography system for structures as small as 10nm and pattern samples produced on it. The system works with electron energies from 20keV down to 1keV. A special objective lens allows to realize probes of 5nm diameter for the lower energy range. Depending on how much energy is applied, the electrons will penetrate more or less deeply into the material. This may be used to create three-dimensional profiles in the resist. Provided in the system is a quasi-continuous path control to generate protracted curved structures with minimum edge roughness. Automatic marker detection algorithms and metric coordinate-control facilities enable the use of mix-and-match technologies.
