Abstract

A mathematical scheme capable of describing the features of the photolithographic multi-beam–multi-shot approach is introduced here. We will show in detail how such a technique can reproduce any of the fourteen three-dimensional Bravais lattices. Furthermore, we will mathematically show the independence of the lattice constant of the structure from the laser wavelength. Finally, we will compare the four-beams–one-shot and the three-beams–three-shots techniques by means of simulations reproducing opal and connected FCC-like lattices.
