摘要
The two-surface-plasmon-polariton-absorption (TSPPA) at the vacuum wavelength of 400 nm is observed, and the subwavelength lithography, by using this nonlinear phenomenon, is demonstrated. Resist patterns with the period of similar to 138 nm have been obtained by exciting the SPP at the Al/resist interface with the 400 nm femtosecond laser. By altering the exposure time, the exposure linewidth reduces from similar to 90 nm to similar to 55 nm, which explores the ability of the TSPPA based lithography at the short wavelength. The factors limiting the performance of the proposed TSPPA based lithography are discussed in detail. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
