Outlook for projection x-ray lithography

  • Published:
Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The discovery of superconductivity with critical temperatures of ∼100 K opens new opportunities for wide-scale application of superconducting microelectronics devices with ultraminiature elements (less than 0.1 µm). Projection x-ray lithography could serve as a technological basis of such microelectronics. It is demonstrated that application of x-ray optics elements, production of which can be readily provided by modern technological facilities, makes it possible to produce microstructures with element dimensions of the order of tens of nanometers and to eliminate to a considerable extent the drawbacks inherent in contact lithography.
