    摘要: An energetic neutral particle lithographic apparatus is disclosed for replicating sub-micron and nanoscale patterns including a source producing a beam of energetic neutral particles, comprising atoms or molecules, by charge transfer scattering of energetic ions from the molecules of a gas, a mask member having open stencil windows in a supporting membrane, an energetic neutral particle protective layer on the membrane, and a reproduction member consisting of an energetic neutral particle-sensitive layer between a substrate and the mask for absorbing energetic neutral particles in a pattern created by the mask.

    摘要: The present inventors have developed an accurate method for forming a plurality of images on a substrate. The present method provides an improved pattern replication technique that provides submicron resolution, for example 20 nm or less, especially 10 nm or less. The method may involve moving a structured beam of energetic radiation across a target substrate. The motion of an image of the template mask on the substrate is achieved by tilting a mask and substrate assembly relative to the axis of the incident beam. The technique does not require high precision motion of the template mask relative to the target substrate. The energetic radiation may comprise energetic particles. The technique is insensitive to particle energy and can be applied to uncharged, neutral particles.

    摘要: For producing an exposure pattern on a curved, in particular concave substrate field of a substrate which comprises a layer of resist material sensitive to exposure to an energetic radiation, in a pattern transfer system a wide, substantially parallel beam of said energetic radiation is produced, and by means of said beam a planar mask having a structure pattern, namely, a set of transparent windows to form a structured beam, is illuminated and the structure pattern is imaged onto the substrate by means of the structured beam, producing a pattern image, namely, a spatial distribution of irradiation over the substrate. The direction of incidence of said beam onto the mask is varied through a sequence of inclinations with respect to the normal axis to the mask, the sequence of inclinations being adapted to merge those exposure pattern components which result from neighboring windows of the structure pattern, the exposure with respect to the sequence of inclinations superposing into a spatial distribution of exposure dose on the substrate, said distribution exceeding the specific minimum exposure dose of said resist material within only one or more regions of the substrate field, said region(s) forming the exposure pattern. The center of curvature of the substrate field is positioned to align with the pattern center on the mask. The windows of the structure pattern are arranged in a manner that along each radius from the pattern center, the radial spacing of said windows decreases with increasing radius from the pattern center; preferably, the windows have uniform area.

    摘要: A method is provided for creating a plurality of substantially uniform nano-scale features in a substantially parallel manner in which an array of micro-lenses is positioned on a surface of a substrate, where each micro-lens includes a hole such that the bottom of the hole corresponds to a portion of the surface of the substrate. A flux of charged particles, e.g., a beam of positive ions of a selected element, is applied to the micro-lens array. The flux of charged particles is focused at selected focal points on the substrate surface at the bottoms of the holes of the micro-lens array. The substrate is tilted at one or more selected angles to displace the locations of the focal points across the substrate surface. By depositing material or etching the surface of the substrate, several substantially uniform nanometer sized features may be rapidly created in each hole on the surface of the substrate in a substantially parallel manner.
