Nanometer Scale Vacuum Lithography using Plasma Polymerization and Plasma Etching

플라즈마 중합과 플라즈마 에칭을 이용한 나노미터 단위의 진공리소그래피

This work was carried out to develop a pattern on the nanometer scale using plasma polymerization and plasma etching. This study is also aimed at developing a resist for the nano process and a vacuum lithography process. The thin films of plasma polymerization were fabricated by the plasma po1ymerization of inter-electrode capacitively coupled gas flow system. After delineating the pattern at accelerating voltage of 30[kV]. ranging the dose of 1∼500[${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$], the pattern was developed with dry tree and formed by plasma etching. By analysing of the molecule structure using FT-lR, it was confirmed that the thin films of PPMST contains the functional radicals of the MST monomer. The thin films of PPMST had a highly crosslinked structure resulting in a higher molecule weight than the conventional resist.
