Fabrication of ultrasmall magnets by electroplating

چکیده
We use high voltage electron beam lithography followed by electroplating to define small metal features on semiconductor substrates. These have been used to form high resolution etch masks, dense nanomagnet arrays, and highly anisotropic metal nanostructures. To reproducibly obtain uniform arrays of such structures, we have developed an end-point detection technique, which is based on in situ observation of the electrodeposition process. © 1995 American Vacuum Society.

Adjustable, short focal length permanent-magnet quadrupole based electron beam final focus system
1098-4402= Advanced high-brightness beam applications such as inverse-Compton scattering (ICS) depend on achieving of ultrasmall spot sizes in high current beams. Modern injectors and compressors enable the production of high-brightness beams having needed short bunch lengths and small emittances. Along with these beam properties comes the need to produce tighter foci, using stronger, shorter f...

By using electron beam lithography, chemically assisted ion beam etching, and electroplating, we have fabricated high aspect ratio magnetic columns, 60–170 nm in diameter, embedded in an aluminum–gallium–oxide/gallium–arsenide @~Al0.9Ga0.1!2O3 /GaAs# substrate. In our previous work, we demonstrated storage of data in individual columns spaced 2 mm apart. Here the electroplated Ni columns are in...

Quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTMs), stemming from their importance for understanding materials with unconventional properties, has continued to attract widespread theoretical and experimental attention. However, the observation of QTMs in the most promising candidates of molecular magnets and few iron-based compounds is limited to very low temperature. Herein, we first highlight a simple...

The recent innovations in dry etching make it a promising technology for the fabrications of micromoulds. The high aspect ratios, directional freedom, low roughness, high etch rates and high selectivity with respect to the mask material allow a versatile fabrication process of micromoulds for subsequent electroplating and embossing, as is demonstrated with the DEEMO process. DEEMO is an English...
