EUV GRATINGS Eulitha’s EUV gratings are fabricated on thin silicon nitride mambranes using high-resolution ebeam lithography. The gratings are typically etched into a Cr film deposited on the membrane. In order to boost the diffraction efficiency and to improve transmission the nitride membrane is sometimes also etched until a very thin support film remains (see diagram below). Gratings down to a period of 80nm are available. Applications for EUV gratings include spectroscopy and EUV interference lithography. EUV gratings are produces according to customers’ specifications.
