We have designed, constructed, and are now performing experiments with a proof-of-concept projection electron-beam iithography system based upon the SCALPEL® (SCattering with Angular Limitation Projection Electron-beam Lithography) principle. This initial design has enabled us to demonstrate the feasibility of not only the electron optics, but also the scattering mask and resist platform. In this paper we report on some preliminary results which indicate the lithographic potential and benefits of this technology for the production of sub-0. 18 .tm features
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
