Plasmonic Nanolithography System
GUI
System in airhood Challenging positioning in both radial and circumferential direction
line edge roughness
SLIDE 5
Linear stage along radial direction
Stage positioning error along the radial direction RMS: <10 nm
SLIDE 6 Positioning and pattern generation
Encoder patterns on the magnetic disk ~ 3 million count per revolution
Experimental encoder signal readback and trigger for lithography pattern
Experimental pattern generation
SLIDE 7
Preliminary lithography results (demo) Free space lithography pattern
Those patterns are aligned Optical image of the lithography line patterns
