Electron-beam Lithography at Birck Nanotechnology Center

Published on

Abstract

With the development of advanced processing technology, electron‐beam lithography (EBL) is a key enabling tool for nanoscience and nanofabrication. At Birck Nanotechnology Center (BNC), a lot of research, such as MOSFET, metamaterials, photonics, and NEMS, rely heavily on EBL to prove research concepts and carry out fundamental science. Recently, BNC installed the JEOL‐8100 EBL system in its cleanroom. It has a minimum beam diameter of 5.4 nm at 1,000 um x 1,000 um field size with maximum scan speed of 125MHz. In this talk, I will focus on doses for different EBL resists, stitching errors and alignment considerations. I will also highlight some common user mistakes and what can be done to prevent them.
