High aspect ratio silicon structures by Displacement Talbot lithography and Bosch etching [PDF]
Despite the fact that the resolution of conventional contact/proximity lithography can reach feature sizes down to ~0.5-0.6 micrometers, the accurate control of the linewidth and uniformity becomes already very challenging for gratings with periods in ...

X-Ray Lithography for Nanofabrication: Is There a Future? [PDF]
X-ray lithography has been first proposed almost 50 years ago, and the related LIGA process around 25 years ago. It is therefore a good time to make an analysis of the technique, with its pros and cons.

The Adone wiggler x-ray lithography beamline [PDF]
A soft x-ray beamline, utilizing the radiation produced by the six-pole wiggler of the Adone storage ring, has been realized. The beamline allows the exposure of large area resists by means of a double-mirror scanning system or mechanically moving the wafer. The mechanical, geometrical, and spectral characteristics of the beamline will be described.
