Abstract

Focused hard X-ray microbeams for use in X-ray nanolithography have been investigated. A 7.5 keV X-ray beam generated at an undulator was focused to about 3 µm using a Fresnel zone plate fabricated on silicon. The focused X-ray beam retains a high degree of collimation owing to the long focal length of the zone plate, which greatly facilitates hard X-ray nanoscale lithography. The focused X-ray microbeam was successfully utilized to fabricate patterns with features as small as 100 nm on a photoresist.
