Electron beam lithography is a direct write technique for Micro and Nano patterning of substrate surface. In this process, CAD design is transferred, by moving high focused electron beam, into electron sensitive polymer resist, which was deposited by spin coat on a substrate surface just before the E-Beam exposure, and developed in specific solvents afterward. This process is usually an intermediate step in surface patterning, following by processes like lift-off or etching. Using E Beam Lithography, high resolution patterns which are below the optical lithography resolution limit, can be fabricated.
Raith EBPG5200 is a High Resolution, High Energy, fully automated, state of the art E-Beam lithography system, for direct write of different designs with a resolution down to 8nm line. The system is in operation since Nov. 2015.
Graduate students, Post doc candidates and other users from academy and Industry can get service or can be trained for independent use of the EBPG system.
