Abstract

This paper reports a simple route to fabricating T-gate like structures with footprint of 40 nm using a copper electroplating process and a single electron beam lithography step without the need for lift-off. To our knowledge, these are the smallest such structures demonstrated using this approach which could also be implemented straightforwardly using conventional stepper or nanoimprint lithography for low cost, high volume silicon compatible manufacture.
