R. Brossardt et al., 100 KEV ELECTRON-BEAM LITHOGRAPHY PROCESS FOR HIGH-ASPECT-RATIO SUBMICRON STRUCTURES, Microelectronic engineering, 27(1-4), 1995, pp. 139-142
Using the high-speed negativ resist AZ-PN 100, a single layer process
for the generation of high aspect ratio submicron structures was devel
oped for the Leica EBPG-5 electron beam writer. It features exposure a
t 100 keV electron energy and a special exposure scheme, which allows
to reduce the influence of the proximity effect. Both submicron isolat
ed lines and submicron gaps in larger features may be resolved simulta
neously with one set of exposure parameters. It is shown, that the rem
aining influence of the proximity effect on linewidth control is small
er than 0.2 mum even in the worst case.
