摘要: Three-beam interference lithography is used to create hole/dot photoresist patterns with hexagonal symmetry. This achieved by modifying a standard two-beam Lloyd's mirror interferometer into three-beam interferometer, the position of mirrors chosen guarantee 120° symmetry exposure. Compared commonly setups, this brings advantage simplified alignment, as respect substrate fixed. Pattern periodicities from several wavelengths λ down 2/3λ are thus easily and continuously accessible simply rotating interferometer. Furthermore, in contrast interferometers, only single exposure needed patterns.
