Abstract

We have previously demonstrated (Proc. SPIE Vol. 4688, 595, 2002; JM3 Vol. 2, Nr. 1, 34, 2003) a depth of focus of several millimeters in masked ion beam lithography (MIBL). This work illustrates the use of this capability to pattern concave and convex spherical substrates 25 mm in diameter and 5.5 mm deep. Features as small as 175nm were printed across a convex substrate with 75 keV He⁺ ions where the mask-to-wafer gap varied from 1 mm on the center to 6.5 mm on the edge. We also demonstrate, for the first time, the fabrication of 800 nm features in a 4 nm thick Cr coating by masked ion beam direct structuring (MIBS), where 45 keV Argon ions sputter the film through a stencil mask. We demonstrate electronic adjustment of the radial beam profile of the incident ion beam to compensate for the continuously changing angle between the beam and the spherical substrate, thus achieving constant exposure dose (for MIBL) or sputtering rate (for MIBS) a 50 × 50 mm² field.
