Abstract

We studied new three-dimensional tailoring of nano-particles by ion-beam and electron-beam lithographies, aiming for features and nano-gaps down to 10 nm size. Electron-beam patterning is demonstrated for 2D fabrication in combination with plasmonic metal deposition and lift-off, with full control of spectral features of plasmonic nano-particles and patterns on dielectric substrates. We present wide-angle bow-tie rounded nano-antennas whose plasmonic resonances achieve strong field enhancement at engineered wavelength range, and show how the addition of fractal patterns defined by standard electron beam lithography achieve light field enhancement from visible to far-IR spectral range and scalable up towards THz band. Field enhancement is evaluated by FDTD modeling on full-3D simulation domains using complex material models, showing the modeling method capabilities and the effect of staircase approximations on field enhancement and resonance conditions, especially at metal corners, where a minimum rounding radius of 2 nm is resolved and a five-fold reduction of spurious ringing at sharp corners is obtained by the use of conformal meshing.
