Micro and Nano-Structuring

LISA+ has extensive equipment for micro- and nano-structuring in the following areas:

The exposed and developed substrates can then either be coated (see thin film deposition) or etched with the following technologies:

  • isotropic and anisotropic chemical wet etching,
  • isotropic and anisotropic reactive ion etching,
  • areal argon ion milling, or
  • focused ion beam etching (Helium, Neon or Gallium).

In addition, structures made of platinum, tungsten or silicon dioxide can also be written directly onto substrates with a resolution of up to a few nanometers by means of

  • electron or ion beam induced deposition
