Grayscale e-beam lithography: Effects of a delayed development for well-controlled 3D patterning

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Grayscale electron beam lithography (g-EBL) is a fabrication technique that allows for tunable control of resist topography. In most cases, the height of the structures is in the submicron regime. Here, we present an extensive experimental characterization ...
