Fabrication of apertures, slots, and grooves at the 8–80 nm scale in silicon and metal films

Abstract
Fabrication of apertures, slots, and grooves in silicon, gold–palladium, and lithium fluoride has been demonstrated using a 100 keV electron beam. For the LiF films we have been able to etch<2 nm wide by 50 nm deep grooves on 10 nm centers. Grooves in silicon 8 nm wide by 30 nm deep have been made by reactive ion etching in SF6. Apertures as small as 8 nm in diameter have been produced in AuPd films self-supported over larger holes in 60 nm thick Si windows.
