Abstract
In this work, four types of negative electron beam resists are investigated. Electron beam lithography (EBL) experiments were conducted using EBL system ZBA23 (Raith) with the variable-shaped electron beam cross-section at 40 keV electron energy. Important electron beam resist characteristics such as sensitivity, dissolution rate, aspect ratio and sidewall developed profiles in the chemically amplified resist (CAR) SU-8 2000, non-CARs ma-N 2410 and ARN-7520, and inorganic negative resist HSQ XR-1514 are studied and compared. This study was motivated by the selection of a suitable resist for practical use such as large area gratings fabrication for optoelectronics.
