Periodic patterning without stitching errors using MBMS technology
Option 2: Moving Beam / Moving Stage
periodixx is another unique exposure technology with “zero stitching error” approach that is exclusively available for Raith EBL and FIB systems.
Large-area periodic structures with high pattern fidelity are particularly important in photonics and plasmonics. periodixx was developed to meet the need for a fabrication technique enabling the production of superior devices with periodic structures.
The exposure mode is based on Raith’s modulated beam moving stage (MBMS) technology and complements the traxx exposure mode, which uses Raith’s well-established fixed beam moving stage (FBMS) technology. FBMS allows continuous writing of elongated paths such as optical waveguides without stitching; the width of the path is defined by dynamic beam expansion.
However, in MBMS exposure mode the (repetitive periodic) beam movement is defined such that the combination of patterning and synchronized continuous movement of the laser interferometer stage results in stitch-free, strip-shaped periodic structures.
