[labnetwork] EBeam Lithography on Glass substrates

[Jugessur, Aju S]

Hi,

I have a user who is having inconsistent results when exposing patterns (100-200 nm in size) on glass substrate.
He is using a 5 nm Al layer between the 100nm ZEP and glass substrate. He obtained good results but it does not seem reproducible all the times.
He is also ensuring that there is good contact between the sample clips and the metal layer. Another approach would be to place the metal on top of the resist.

He has also used the conducting polymer PDOT on ZEP but it does not seem to adhere too well. He could also be doing a step or steps consistently wrong and be unaware.

This is quite a common and established process but I would like to see if the members have any suggestions to ensure reproducible and consistent results for ebeam lithography on glass substrates.
I will provide more information/details once I receive some feedback.

Thanks,
Regards
Aju
