Abstract :
In the past decade, many efforts have been made to developing the next generation lithography (NGL) for patterning silicon surfaces with sub-100 nm resolution. Here we report a new approach to pattern gold surfaces on muscovite mica by using a metastable helium (He*) atom beam and octanethiol and dodecanethiole (DDT) self-assembled monolayer. The SEM image of the pattern is shown.
