Multibeam interference lithography

Large area glass submicron patterns are important because of its advantages and great potentials for wide area applications - nanoimprint  molding, diffraction mask patterning, diffractive waveguide devices, creating photonic crystal structures, metamaterial. In this work, we use multibeam interference lithography using photoresis to fabricate submicron patterns covering a large area glass substrate area and pattern transfer to glass substrate using subsequent reactive ion etching. The proposed glass submicron patterning approach provides the advantages of both low cost and precise tailoring of submicron geometry, appropriate for mass production.
