Fabrication of Metal Nano Grating Mold Based on Synchrotron Radiation Lithography and Nano Electroforming Process
With the development of microelectronics technology, it is necessary to study the fabrication process for high aspect ratio and a vertical sidewalls micro-nanostructures on the substrate. High quality nano master grating can be fabricated by X-rays lithography. By using sophisticated nano electroforming technology, high-quality nano metal grating can be replicated from the mother mold grating. A technique for preparing high aspect ratio diffraction grating metal molds is introduced. Based on synchrotron radiation lithography technique, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) nano gratings with line width of 0.25, 0.5, 1 μm, and the height of 2.0 μm are prepared on a silicon substrate. Using precision electroforming technique, nickel nano-grating mold with the line width of 0.25, 0.5, 1 μm, and the 1 μm gratings aspect ratio of 1.5 is fabricated from the PMMA grating master mold. In order to obtain high-quality PMMA nano-grating, the adhesive is used to overcome the deficiencies of structures collapsed, by optimizing exposure parameters, small triangular structures at the bottom of the gratings are eliminated.
