Va. Kudryashov et al., NEW MICROLITHOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGIES BASED ON RESIST IRRADIATION BY LOW-ENERGY ELECTRONS, Microelectronic engineering, 23(1-4), 1994, pp. 307-310
A new low energy electron irradiation based technology to produce self
alignment submicron structures in microlithography is proposed. Its ma
in characteristic features are, first, the transformation of the influ
ence direction from perpendicular to the surface to lateral to it and,
second, the penetration depth of the radiation into the resist is muc
h smaller than the resist structure width and height and is equal to t
he features size to be formed.
