High Resolution Material Processing with Femtosecond Lasers: Mask Repair and Beyond
Abstract
Femtosecond pulses of light merged with deep ultraviolet optics results in materials processing with exceptional, sub 100 nm spatial resolution and has been incorporated into a photomask repair system operating in manufacturing. Better than 200 nm resolution in the femtosecond stimulated deposition of metals at atmospheric pressure has been achieved.
