Abstract
Using the modal theory of perfectly conducting and finite conductivity lamellar gratings adapted to stratified media encountered in photolithographic transfer set-ups, we investigate a mounting patented 15 years ago and designed to obtain a faithful reproduction of a masks pierced with periodically distributed slits. We make a systematic study of the influence of the various parameters (incidence, mark-space ratio, groove spacing, groove depth, polarization, conductivity of the metal) on the field map below the mask. We discover a large tolerance over the parameters around the values stated in the patent. The result is that the set-up described in the patent can be used for duplicating non-periodic masks (e. g. linear Fresnel zone plates) as well as chirped gratings or gratings with non rectilinear grooves. Experiments have confirmed that predictions. Keywords: Grating mask transfer; Photolithography.
