Abstract
Surface plasmon enhanced contact lithography uses an underlying plasmonic layer to enhance image quality in evanescent near-field optical lithography. This article details simulations aimed at finding optimum conditions and attempts to explain some underlying mechanisms. Parameters explored include resist thickness, metal permittivity and thickness, polarization, and grating period and duty-cycle
