SUBSTRATE FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION ELECTRONIC LITHOGRAPHY AND CORRESPONDING LITHOGRAPHY METHOD

摘要

In the field of very high-energy (50 keV or more) electron-beam lithography, a layer to be patterned by lithography is borne by a holding structure that comprises a substrate (for example made of silicon) and an intermediate layer made of a porous material of density lower than that of the same but non-porous material, this material, notably silicon or carbon nanotubes, having a low atomic number, lower than 32 and preferably lower than 20. This structure decreases the influence of backscattered electrons on high-resolution lithographic patterns.
