== Aluminum coating ==
At DTU Danchip, we recommend to use a thin (20 nm) layer of thermally evaporated [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/Deposition of Aluminium|aluminum]] on top of the e-beam resist. Preferably, the thickness of Al and the e-beam dose should be optimised to the features you wish to e-beam pattern [http://nedds.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Greer-et-al-DRM-29-July-2012.pdf]. A good starting point is 20 nm Al; from here dose and development can be optimised to reach the resolution and feature size required.
The process flow for a standard e-beam exposure on ZEP520 with Al on top can be found here [[media:Process_Flow_ZEP_with_Al.docx‎|Process_Flow_ZEP_with_Al.docx‎]].


== ESPACER ==
== ESPACER ==


We have ESPACER in stock and approved for use in the cleanroom. You can find a guideline for a process flow here: [[media:Process_Flow_ZEP_ESPACER.docx‎|Process_Flow_ZEP_ESPACER.docx‎]]. Technical information of EPSCAER can be found here: [[media:Espacer_300_Technical_Info.pdf‎|Espacer_300_Technical_Info.pdf‎]], [[media:Espacer_catalog.pdf‎|Espacer_catalog.pdf‎]].
Espacer is a chemical that works as a discharging layer; it is spun onto the wafer on top of the resist and easily rinsed off the wafer after e-beam exposure. Visit this page for more information: [[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Lithography/Espacer|Espacer]]


Please contact [mailto:lithography@danchip.dtu.dk Lithography] if you wish to test this material.
