Application notes

Our customers work described in application notes
Application note: Device trimming of photonic integrated circuits through efficient combination of EBL and FIB (.pdf)
An advanced fabrication techniques combing EBL and FIB can perfect integrated photonic circuits for cutting-edge applications. This application note explores precise post-fabrication tuning using RAITH's electron beam lithography and focused ion beam patterning. Learn how to correct fabrication imperfections with sub-picometer accuracy for optimized photonic devices, revolutionizing data interconnects, sensors, AI accelerators, and quantum technologies.
Application Note: Metalens Fabrication (.pdf)
Algorithmic pattern preparation for metalens fabrication achieves high throughput, bypassing design layout conversion, ensuring precision.
Application Note: Photonic circuits for on-chip quantum optics (.pdf)
EBPG is utilized to develop an on-chip approach with integrated optics for quantum computing, facilitating secure communication and the simulation of complex systems.
Application Note: Sub-nm pitch control of stitching-error-free millimeter-long periodic structures (.pdf)
Modulated Beam Moving Stage (MBMS) technology enables the fabrication of periodic structures like distributed feedback (DFB) gratings and photonic crystal waveguides.
Application Note: Continuous electron beam lithography writing mode for optical waveguide nanofabrication (.pdf)
Fixed Beam Moving Stage (FBMS) exposure technology can be used to fabricate perfect stitching-error-free arrayed couplings and tapered waveguides up to several millimeters in length.
Application Note: Efficient volume production of periodic nanostructures (.pdf)
Many applications in photonics, optoelectronics, displays, biosensors, etc. involve covering large areas with periodic nanostructures. To complement serial EBL writings, this application note describes the combination of an electron beam lithography system and photolithography system to efficiently fabricate periodic nanostructures over large areas with high precision and high throughput.
Application Note: Advanced gallium-free TEM lamella preparation using VELION FIB-SEM (.pdf)
High quality TEM lamellae are crucial for high-resolution TEM characterization. Using a vertical FIB column with multiple ion species for TEM sample prep yields many advantages. ThIs application note highlights how to use VELION’s unique features to advance the quality of TEM investigations and to optimize TEM lamella prep for a wider range of materials.
Application Note: Automated nanocontacting of randomly distributes 1D and 2D materials (.pdf)
Transforming randomly distributed 1D and 2D material into functional devices with the help of SEM mapping and innovative offline data preparation for direct-write lithography.
Application Note: Enabling sub-nm 3D metrology inside an Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) tool by integration of an in-situ atomic force microscope (AFM)
For determination and control of material growth/etching rates or surface topography, an in-situ AFM inside a nanoengineering tool is the ideal complement to the 2D imaging capabilities of a Raith EBL tool. This application note shows how the integration of an AFM into an eLINE Plus adds 3D metrology to the nanoengineering system and exceeds the capability of traditional EBL tools in terms of e.g. 3D surface topography analysis for nanolithography on non-planar surfaces.
Application Note: Electrical in-situ Characterization of Au/Ni/Au-Nanowires with Nanomanipulators (.pdf)
Efficient alternative to traditional methods for electrical characterization of nanowires, utilizing in-situ measurements for quicker and more effective results compared to typical probing stations.
Application Note: Ion beam lithography for Fresnel zone plate fabrication in gold on membranes (.pdf)
Fresnel zone plates are widely used as diffractive-based focusing elements in X-ray microscopy, achieving resolutions down to 25 nm. While they are typically prepared by EBL, this application note shows how the fabrication of zone plates by a dedicated FIB nanofabrication system (RAITH ionLINE) is able to significantly reduce the fabrication steps while still deliver the necessary high resolution.
Application Note: Organic Ice Resist (.pdf)
As compared to traditional nanopatterning methods like EBL or other e-beam based alternatives such as FEBID and ice lithography, the newly discovered method using “organic ice resist” (OIR) opens new possibilities for nanopatterning. The application note explains the advantages of negative-tone direct-write OIR processes which eliminate the solvent development and drying required for EBL, thus allowing for further sample processing either in situ or ex situ.
Application Note: Sketch & Peel (.pdf)
A standard adhesive tape can help overcome the relatively slow patterning speed of direct FIB milling. The Application Note explains the new sketch & peel approach in detail and also investigates the change in outcome when using different ion species. Learn how simple adhesive tape can help you increase your throughput up to several orders of magnitude compared to usual FIB milling.
