Abstract
A double mirror system has been studied and realized for purposes of Deep x-ray Lithography/LIGA. Because structuring high aspect ratio resist ask for high photon flux to maintain exposure time compatible with industrial process, hard x-ray synchrotron radiation is necessary and its broadband spectrum is normally used. However one would need to shape this spectrum on both low and high-energy parts. The former may lead to resist surface overdoes and is treated by means of appropriate filters. The later is prejudicial at resist-metallic substrate interface where high-energy photons are preferentially absorbed giving rise to extra-dose even behind absorber patterns. This may result in microstructures adhesion break down for positive resist and incomplete dissolution for negative tone ones. A mirror set up in the upstream beam-line is a correct answer to prevent these effects. The association of filters and mirror gives an adjustable band-pass filter to fit almost exposure requirements in deep x-ray lithography. Preliminary result of such a system are presented concerning its band-pass filter character, flux performances and first comparative effects on resist microstructures.
