This paper addresses the important age media w3x, now require the production of sub issue of EBL on the conventional polymethyl- nm structures. E-mail address: christophe.

The calibration of the microscope magnifi- opment technique w4x, making a real breakthrough in cation and by the way the size of the writing field, the domain. On the other hand, a recent study on was realized by using a reference grating of mm EBL using PMMA resist has demonstrated the feasi- period.

In this work, the advantage of using pure mensional measurements made on gratings of sub- IPA as a developer for fabricating very dense arrays micronic period, fabricated by an industrial nano- was demonstrated, but transfer techniques like lift-off writer, confirmed the quality of our calibration.

The and etching were not successful at this length scale. We insist on the Exposures on PMMA resist were carried out with optimization of resist development, which is the key a spot size of 1 nm and a beam current of 8 pA. In process for reaching the sub nm level. In particu- opposition to other studies devoted to lift-off experi- lar, we investigate the effects of the combination of ments w8,9x where bilayers of resist were used, a both US agitation during development and pure IPA simplified process was implemented.

We also report on a complete and the correction of astigmatism was performed by process including writing in the resist, lift-off and creating a small dot of contamination of 5 nm in subsequent RIE for making dot and line arrays at diameter with a s fixed point exposure and its pitches and periods down to 30 and 40 nm, respec- observation with secondary electrons at a magnifica- tively.

A secondary between adjacent features is much greater than the electron detector, located above the sample, allows size of the features. The linewidth is in the 3—5 nm lines obtained by lift-off of a granular film and range with good uniformity. In order to observe observed by SEM.

The lines of Fig. While this result clearly shows nCrcm. The granular wires appear very uniform, that intrinsic resolution of PMMA resist is well attesting for the quality of the lift-off process. We below 10 nm at high incident electron energy, noth- think that for this dose, a clean line was opened in ing can be concluded about the quality of the open- the PMMA resist with a linewidth of 7 nm, which ings created in the resist and their suitability for corresponds roughly to the natural size of the metal- subsequent transfer technologies.

In order to clarify lic grains formed by deposition. Consequently, only this point, we have carried out specific lift-off exper- one grain can be formed in the width of the lines, iments to demonstrate that sub nm lines opened which have thus been called monogranular lines. EBL support lift-off. For a nominal thickness of 2 nm, gold the surface. The realization of very regular sub films deposited under optimized conditions are not nm granular wires, clearly indicates that the lines continuous and consist of small grains of 4 nm in opened in the resist by US agitation at this small diameter with separations of 1—2 nm.

In this kind of dimension range are clean, without residual resit thin films, due to their granularity, coalescence be- material at the bottom. This is a crucial point if those tween grains has not taken place, secondary recrys- sub nm resist features are to be used for fabricat- tallization does not exist and the strain is relaxed at ing real structures for advanced device applications. These advantages enable to Monogranular metallic lines can be inserted be- fabricate homogeneous granular lines in sub nm tween contact electrodes by using the alignment openings in the resist by lift-off.

In this case, we do facilities of EBL. More generally, the combination of EBL and lift-off of a granular film enables to control the number of islands included between some contact electrodes both along the direction of current flow by adjusting the gap between the electrodes, and across the cur- rent path by changing the width of the granular line from a monogranular one to a two grains wide line and further on.

The incidence of the increasing num- ber of islands in MTJ devices, on the Coulomb gap and operating temperature, has been investigated in details w12—15x, using this unique opportunity opened Fig. Scanning electron micrographs of an array of 3—5 nm wide by EBL.

An enlarged view of an isolated 5-nm wide monogranular line showing the regular arrangement of the metallic islands along the line axis. It is thus really grains of 1—2 nm are formed spontaneously.

Molecu- difficult to fabricate contact electrodes separated by lar selective bridging through thiol functionalization less than 2 nm in a reproducible way, and the of the molecule on the nanometric Au islands, could be an elegant method for molecular connection.

More generally, we think, that nanofabricated structures below 10 nm by EBL like MTJ structures could form interesting host structures for molecules of interest for molecular electronics or nanobiotechnology. Resolution limits for very dense arrays of nanostructures We now investigate another aspect of resolution, which is no more the smallest size achievable with Fig.
