ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The combination of deep X-ray lithography with electroforming and micromoulding (i.e., LIGA) has been shown to offer high potential for the production of high aspect-ratio microstructures. The LIGA technique, employing synchrotron light and a suitable X-ray mask, allows production of 3D microstructures in PMMA with aspect ratios around 100. Here we demonstrate that the novel technique of Deep Ion Beam Lithography (DIBL), a direct process utilizing a focused beam of MeV ions scanned in a predetermined pattern over a suitable resist material, can produce three dimensional micro structures with sub-micrometer feature sizes. Microstructures extending up to 100 μm from the substrate with aspect ratios approaching 100 can be produced. Multiple exposures at different ion energies allow production of multilayer structures in single resist layers of SU-8, a newly developed, chemically accelerated, negative tone, near UV, photoresist. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
