Abstract

We review the program at Cornell University aimed at investigation of the size limits of patterning material using high energy electron beams. Structures at the 1-10 nanometer size scale have been fabricated using subnanometer diameter 100 keV electron beams. Using electron beam defined masks, we demonstrate ion beam replication of structures less than 30nm in width. Finally, in situ fabrication of metal structures with walls vertical to 0.8nm is shown using electron beam modification of AlF3.
