Abstract
Maskless digital photolithography is a relatively new lithographic technique in which micrometer-scale pattern layouts can be configured conveniently by an electrically-addressable digital-micromirror-device. The authors’ group has been systematically looking into the possibility of generating submicron patterns using the technique, starting with photonic crystal (PhC) laser structures. Pattern tilting and grayscale exposure techniques are employed to fine-tune the PhC lattice constant and also to generate PhC patterns other than square-lattice structure. Diffraction effects are also taken into account carefully to generate non-periodic PhC patterns. The resultant PhC lasers exhibit laser performance comparable to those fabricated by electron-beam lithography.
