Fabrication of complex oxide microstructures by combinatorial chemical beam vapour deposition through stencil masks

Paul Muralt, Andreea Veronica Savu, Silviu Cosmin Sandu, Estelle Wagner, Scott Harada, Giacomo Benvenuti

Chemical Beam Vapour Deposition is a gas phase deposition technique, operated under high vacuum conditions, in which evaporated chemical precursors are thermally decomposed on heated substrates to form a film. In the particular equipment used in this work, ...

Grazing angle X-ray fluorescence from periodic structures on silicon and silica surfaces

Andreea Veronica Savu, Wei Cao

Various 3-dimensional nano-scaled periodic structures with different configurations and periods deposited on the surface of silicon and silica substrates were investigated by means of the grazing incidence and grazing emission X-ray fluorescence techniques ...

Heated mask

Jürgen Brugger, Andreea Veronica Savu, Shenqi Xie

The invention concerns a method and a device wherein a stencil is provided with an integrated microhotplate on the stencil membrane to prevent aperture clogging, whereby the stencil can be locally heated up in order to minimize material condensation, remov ...

Stencil-Nanopatterned Back Reflectors for Thin-Film Amorphous Silicon n-i-p Solar Cells

Jürgen Brugger, Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Andreea Veronica Savu, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Mona Julia Katharina Klein, Céline Pahud

We fabricated amorphous silicon n-i-p solar cells with two types of nanopatterned back reflectors using stencil lithography. One reflector type has a plasmonic grating that is embedded in the ZnO layer; the other one has a metallic grating patterned on top ...

Resistless Fabrication of Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) Stamps Using Nano-Stencil Lithography

Jürgen Brugger, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andreea Veronica Savu, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Cristina Martin Olmos, Katrin Sidler Arnet

In order to keep up with the advances in nano-fabrication, alternative, cost-efficient lithography techniques need to be implemented. Two of the most promising are nanoimprint lithography (NIL) and stencil lithography. We explore here the possibility of fa ...

Application of stencil masks for ion beam lithographic patterning

Jürgen Brugger, Andreea Veronica Savu

The application of Au/Si3N4 stencil masks for the transfer of patterns using different MeV-ion beams with various substrates has been investigated. The techniques investigated were namely, conventional lithography with positive- and negative-tone resist po ...

In-situ actuated gap reduction and clogging-free apertures for quasi-dynamic stencil lithography

Jürgen Brugger, Andreea Veronica Savu, Shenqi Xie

We demonstrate a high-resolution implementation of quasi-dynamic stencil lithography based on the integration of a micro-hotplate on the stencil membrane. The stencil design has been tailored so that the thermally actuated membrane reduces the gap between ...

Streched organic transistors maintain mobility on flexible substrates

Jürgen Brugger, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Andreea Veronica Savu, Dimitrios Tsamados, Katrin Sidler Arnet, Nenad Cvetkovic

Two levels of aligned stencil lithography were used to fabricate pentacene thin film transistors on 12 mu m thick flexible polyimide substrates. Flexible transistors with 20 x 40 mu m(2) channels were electrically measured under strain up to 2.6%. After on ...

Compliant membranes improve resolution in full-wafer micro/nanostencil lithography

Jürgen Brugger, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andreea Veronica Savu, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Katrin Sidler Arnet

This work reports on a considerable resolution improvement of micro/nanostencil lithography when applied on full-wafer scale by using compliant membranes to reduce gap-induced pattern blurring. Silicon nitride (SiN) membranes are mechanically decoupled fro ...
