Abstract

A fast-reconfigurable and actively-stabilized fiber-optic interference lithography system is demonstrated in this paper. Employment of fiber-optic components greatly enhances the flexibility of the whole system, simplifies its optical alignment, and suppresses the interference of mechanical vibrations. Active stabilization is implemented in the system and evaluated through modeling and experiment. We demonstrate 3-inch-diameter wafer-scale patterning of 240-nm-period grating lines with a sub-50-nm linewidth and an aspect ratio over 3. Two-dimensional patterns of different geometries and dimensions are also demonstrated to show the versatility of our system. Step-and-repeat exposure is demonstrated with independently controlled patterning fields of 2×2cm2 large.
