Abstract
This article describes a near-field photolithographic method that uses an elastomeric phase mask in conformal contact with photoresist. The method is capable of generating similar to 90 nm lines in commercially available photoresist, using broadband, incoherent light with wavelen gths between 330 and 460 nm. Transfer of these patterns into silicon d ioxide and gold demonstrates the integrity of the patterned resist. (C ) 1998 American Vacuum Society.
