Abstract
A simple method for measuring the period of e-beam written gratings is described. The technique allows for measurement of grating periods us ing a light microscope. Grating periods can be determined with a resol ution of about 0.1 Angstrom. Twenty near field holographic photoplates have been made using this method with excellent results. The techniqu e is described for use on a JBX 6000FS electron beam lithography syste m with fine pitch control software, but may be applicable to other sys tems. (C) 1998 American Vacuum Society.
