Details (EBL)
Features
- Aspect ratio up to 10 depending on geometry
- Structural details ≥ 20 nm
- Resist thickness up to 3200 nm
(e.g. for electroplating of high aspect ratio gold structures required for X-ray lithography)
Limitations/constraints
- Standard Resist: PMMA
Design rules
- Rounding of structural edges
- Design of dummy structures for stress reduction
- Homogeneous structure allocation (in case of subsequent electroplating)
Materials
Substrate materials: silicon, glass, metal
Other resist and substrate materials on request
