OPTISCHE LITHOGRAPHIE MIT EXTREM HOHER AUFLÖSUNG

摘要

Optical lithography scheme making use of light coupling structures, and elastomeric light coupling structures in particular. These light coupling structures comprise protruding portions and connecting portions. The protruding elements are designed to be brought into conformal contact with a resist to be exposed such that the light guided into the protruding elements is coupled from there directly into the resist. The lateral shape and size of the protruding elements defines 1:1 the lateral size and shape of small features to be exposed in the resist.
