Self-Aligned Plasmonic Lithography for Maskless Fabrication of Large-Area Long-Range Ordered 2D Nanostructures

Abstract: This paper proposes a one-step maskless 2D nanopatterning approach named self-aligned plasmonic lithography (SPL) by line-shaped ultrafast laser ablation under atmospheric conditions for the first time. Through a theoretical calculation of electric field and experimental verification, we proved that homogeneous interference of laser-excited surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be achieved and used to generate long-range ordered 2D nanostructures in a self-aligned way over a wafer-sized area within several min… Show more

“…Then the line‐shaped laser pulses are spatially separated for discrete ablation by tuning the relationship between laser repetition frequency and scanning speed. [ 29 ] For film materials, their ablation thresholds will significantly decrease with the reduction of the film thickness. [ 30 ] This makes it easy to find laser fluence low enough to completely remove the metal film without obvious damage to the substrate.…”

“…Notably, the periodic energy deposition can be stably achieved on GST upon various substrates, including metal, semiconductor, and dielectric materials (Figure 2b,d and Figure S3, Supporting Information), as the phase-matching condition can be satisfied from the grating coupling effect. [18][19][20] During laser-induced periodic ablation, the laser-induced thermal effect can further cause the LIPSS melt and reorganization including dewetting and crystallization and finally results in the short-range disordered formation of LIPSS (Figure 2a2,a3). The Rayleigh-Plateau hydrodynamic instability contributes to the wavy-like morphology of LIPSS during the thermal reorganization, as observed in Figure 2b.…”

“…[21] Meanwhile, the GST, as a kind of phase-changing material, can locally crystallize from an amorphous state under laser irradiation. [18,32] The local crystallization can also lead to the disordered formation of LIPSS with fluctuant morphology, which can be clearly observed on the LIPSS consisting of many crystallized nanograins after etching in Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution (Figure 2a4,c). To verify the complete crystallization of GST LIPSS, we conducted Raman tests an amorphous GST film, a crystalline GST film, and three randomly selected regions on the GST LIPSS area (named GST LIPSS 1, 2, 3).…”

“…4 Additionally, there is no development and rinsing in ultrafast laser processing; therefore, it has the advantages of few steps, no mask, fast processing and environmental friendliness. [5][6][7] These merits lead to many applications in a variety of aspects, such as the use of ultrafast laser-induced microexplosion to create and recover high-density polymorphs, 8 ultrafast laser pulse for building photonic lattices, 9 and direct nanowriting in air. 10 Also, these characteristics enable ultrafast laser to achieve ultrahigh precision in the processing of three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano structures.…”
