Gold transmission gratings with submicrometer periods and thickness > 0. 5. mu. m

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5307674
Gold gratings with spatial periods of 0.3 and 0.2 ..mu..m have been fabricated in thicknesses of 0.6 and 0.25 ..mu..m, respectively, and used in x-ray spectroscopy and spatial-period-division. Fabrication techniques included: holographic lithography, shadowing, x-ray lithography and gold microplating. Control of linewidth to tolerances of the order of 10 nm has been demonstrated for gratings of 0.2 ..mu..m period. A high resolution imaging spectrometer, composed of a 22x Wolter x-ray microscope in conjunction with a gold transmission grating, was tested. At a wavelength of 0.69 nm a resolving power, lambda/..delta.. lambda, of 200 was demonstrated. Resolution in this case was source size limited. Gratings of 99.5 nm period were exposed in PMMA by x-ray (lambda = 4.5 nm) spatial-period-division.
