Lithography

• Photolithography• Electron beam lithography• X-ray lithography• Focused ion beam lithography

“Photoengraving”- Transfer pattern into reactive polymer film (“resist”)- Use resist to replicate pattern into thin film or substrate

Page 3: Lithography NANO 101 Introduction to Nanotechnology 1

3Photolithography

• “Printing”

• Transfer of the pattern using an optical technique

• Resist = photoresist; photoactive polymer, positive or negative

1. Coat substrate with resist

2. Mask; expose with light

3. Develop (dissolve exposed OR unexposed areas with chemicals)

4. Etch unprotected areas or deposit layer of metal

5. Strip resist

Photolithography

• Maximum resolution (minimum size) of individual features limited by diffraction

Diffraction: • bending of light

• around an edge• through a slit• past an object (edges)

• direction changes• wavelength, frequency

stay the same

Three Modes of Photolithography

Photolithography: Shadow Printing

• Contact mode:• s = 0• Best resolution; near 100% accuracy

• Maximum resolution rarely achieved• Substrate and resist film rarely completely

uniform

• Proximity mode:• Small gap between mask and substrate• Need extremely flat substrates and resist

films

Page 8: Lithography NANO 101 Introduction to Nanotechnology 1

Photolithography: Projection Printing

Resolution

• Worse resolution than shadow printing

• Lens imperfections

• Increased diffraction

• type of resist material

• optical system (apertures)

• exposure wavelength (λ)

• Best resolution ~ λ/2

Page 9: Lithography NANO 101 Introduction to Nanotechnology 1

Radiation with smaller wavelengths

• Deep Ultra-Violet (DUV): λ < 300 nm • Need to use special lasers• Minimum pattern size ~ 100 nm

• Extreme UV (EUV): λ = 11-13 nm• Minimum pattern size ~ 60 nm• Strong absorption of light by lenses• Low reflectance of light by mirrors

Other Options:• ArF laser (193

nm) is current state of art – Immersion

(change refractive index)

– Double Patterning

X-Ray Lithography• X-Rays

• 0.04 nm < λ < 0.4 nm

• System• Mask

• X-ray absorbing material pattern on a thin X-ray transparent material

• X-ray source• Bright enough in

necessary wavelength range

• Expensive

• X-ray sensitive materialhttp://www.camd.lsu.edu/microfabrication/latech.htm

Electron Beam Lithography

E-beam:– Finely focused beam of electrons (few nm

dia.)– Electrons deflected accurately and precisely

to “write” pattern without maskResolution

– Diffraction not an issue• λ < 1 Å (0.1 nm)

– Scattering• Forward (in resist layer)• Backwards (substrate)

Electron Beam Lithography

System• Electron source (gun)• Electron column (forms beam)• Mechanical stage• Control Computer

Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Lithography

• Ions scatter much less than electrons• Sources:

– Liquid metal ions (Ga; Au-Si-Be alloys)– Long lifetime, high stability

• Resolution– sub-µm dimensions (~250 nm)– High resist exposure sensitivity– Negligible ion scattering in resist– Low back scattering from substrate

• Extensive substrate damage

• Also used for etching, deposition, and doping

Page 18: Lithography NANO 101 Introduction to Nanotechnology 1

Focused Ion Beam (FIB) Applications

• Etching– Physical sputtering etching

• Bombard areas to be etched with energetic ion beams

• Simple, applicable to any sample material– Chemical etching

• Chemical reactions between substrate surface and gas molecules adsorbed onto surface

• Increased etching rate, little residual damage

• Deposition– Direction deposition (low energy ions)– Chemical-assisted deposition

FIB - Deposition

• Deposition of Pt on Al substrate to form micro-grating for measuring material deformation 20

Soft Lithography

Techniques:• Microcontact printing• Nanoimprint

• Alternative to photolithography• Cheaper / more flexible

• Printing of Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs)

• Molding of liquid precursors

Page 22: Lithography NANO 101 Introduction to Nanotechnology 1

22

Microcontact Printing• “Stamp” made

– Pour liquid polymer into a mold to make a “stamp”

– Mold often made by photolithography

• “Ink” the stamp– Dip into solution so SAM formed on surface of

stamp

• Stamp the substrate– Place the inked stamp on a substrate– SAM transferred to substrate in specific

pattern

Nanoimprint

1. Make template

2. Coat substrate with polymer

3. Press stamp into polymer at high temperature; polymer deforms

4. Cool polymer and pull stamp away

5. Polymer can be then be etched or used as is

Nanomanipulation and Nanolithography

Based on Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) techniques- can be used for molecular manipulation

Types of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM)• Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)

– Electrically conducting materials

• Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)– Dielectric (insulating) materials

Nanomanipulation

• STM with Tungsten tip• Placed Xenon atoms on surface• UHV and low temperature

– Clean environment and surface– Absence of thermal diffusion on surface

• Perpendicular Processes: atoms lifted, then dropped

• Parallel Processes: atoms dragged along surface• Pushing• Pulling• Sliding

SPM Nanofabrication

Advantages• Nanoscale control in three dimensions, necessary

for atomic manipulation

• Manipulation and characterization

Disadvantages• Small scanning area

• Slow scanning

• Tips must be high quality and consistent

• Surface must be flat and smooth

• UHV and low temperatures

Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN)

• Works under ambient conditions• Scan tip across substrate, atoms or molecules

move from AFM tip to substrate
