Lithography of high spatial density biosensor structures with sub-100 nm spacing by MeV proton beam writing with minimal proximity effect

Abstract
Metal electrode structures for biosensors with a high spatial density and similar to85 nm gaps have been produced using focused megaelectronvolt (MeV) proton beam writing of poly-(methyl methacrylate) positive resist combined with metal lift-off. The minimal proximity exposure and straight proton trajectories in (similar to100 nm) resist layers for focused MeV proton beam writing are strongly indicative that ultimate electrode gap widths approaching a few nanometres are achievable.
