Investigation on the properties of a laminar grating as a soft x-ray beam splitter

Journal Article Liu Ying ; Fuchs, Hans-Joerg ; Liu Zhengkun ; ... - Applied Optics

Laminar-type gratings as soft x-ray beam splitters for interferometry are presented. Gold-coated grating beam splitters with 1000 lines/mm are designed for grazing incidence operation at 13.9nm. They are routinely fabricated using electron beam lithography and ion etching techniques. The laminar grating is measured to have almost equal absolute efficiencies of about 20% in the zeroth and -1st orders, which enables a fringe visibility up to 0.99 in the interferometer. The discrepancy of the grating profiles between the optimized theoretical and the experimental results is analyzed according to the comparison of the optimized simulation results and the measurement realization of themore »« less

Ion-assisted etching and profile development of silicon in molecular and atomic chlorine

Journal Article Levinson, Joshua A. ; Shaqfeh, Eric S. G. ; Balooch, Mehdi ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. B, Microelectronics Processing and Phenomena

An ion beam etching study, designed to characterize the important kinetic and transport processes involved in the ion-assisted etching of silicon in both molecular and atomic chlorine, was performed. Monoenergetic argon ions were directed normal to a silicon wafer that was simultaneously exposed to a neutral molecular and/or atomic chlorine beam. Dissociation of the beam was induced by thermally heating the graphite tip of an effusive source via electron impact. Beam composition was characterized using a quadrupole mass spectrometer and was found to be in excellent agreement with a thermodynamic equilibrium model at the source pressure and tip temperature.

Precise rotational alignment of x-ray transmission diffraction gratings

Technical Report Hill, S.L.

Gold transmission diffraction gratings used for x-ray spectroscopy must sometimes be rotationally aligned to the axis of a diagnostic instrument to within sub-milliradian accuracy. We have fabricated transmission diffraction gratings with high line-densities (grating period of 200 and 300 nm) using uv holographic and x-ray lithography. Since the submicron features of the gratings are not optically visible, precision alignment is time consuming and difficult to verify in situ. We have developed a technique to write an optically visible alignment pattern onto these gratings using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). At high magnification (15000 X) several submicron lines of the gratingmore »« less

Development of chemically assisted etching method for GaAs-based optoelectronic devices

Journal Article Gaillard, M. ; Rhallabi, A. ; Elmonser, L. ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

Chemically assisted ion beam etching of GaAs-based materials using Cl{sub 2} reactive gas was has been experimentally and theoretically examined. The primary effort was the design of an etching system for high reproducibility and improved throughput. Characteristics of the etching process, i.e., etch rate, etch profiles, and surface morphology as a function of etching parameters, i.e., substrate temperature, Cl{sub 2} flow rate, ion current density, and energy are reported. In addition, we have analyzed the etched surfaces qualitatively by Auger electron spectroscopy, and quantitatively by atomic force microscopy. The developed process yielded stoichiometric and smooth GaAs surfaces. Moreover, in ordermore »« less

Fabrication and evaluation of a wideband multilayer laminar-type holographic grating for use with a soft-x-ray flat-field spectrograph in the region of 1.7 keV

Journal Article Imazono, Takashi ; Ishino, Masahiko ; Koike, Masato ; ... - Applied Optics

A multilayer laminar-type holographic grating having an average groove density of2400 lines/mmis designed and fabricated for use with a soft-x-ray flat-field spectrograph covering the0.70-0.75 nm region. A varied-line-spaced groove pattern is generated by the use of an aspheric wavefront recording system, and laminar-type grooves are formed by a reactive ion-etching method.Mo/SiO2 multilayers optimized for the emission lines of Hf-M,Si-K, and W-M are deposited on one of the three designated areas on the grating surface in tandem. The measured first-order diffraction efficiencies at the respective centers of the areas are 18%-20%. The flat-field spectrograph equipped with the grating indicates a spectralmore »« less
