Abstract

New patterning schemes for a variety of applications including sensors and photonics are explored. We present here a comprehensive study of using focused ion beam (FIB) milling to modify surfaces over millimeter-scale areas with nano-patterns of dimensions down to 30 nm. A typical example of a pattern is 40 nm diameter × 40 nm depth wells with a 200 nm pitch. Typical sample materials are metals, but polymer patterning is possible. We have also evaluated the surface of the patterned materials to ensure there are no negative effects of these patterning schemes on the future device performance.
