Towards outperforming conventional sensor arrays with fabricated individual photonic vapour sensors inspired by Morpho butterfliesCee® 200
Researchers at AMOLF and ARCNL fabricated dielectric metarings for optical sensing using a Cee® Apogee® 200 Spin Coater to apply HSQ resist to amorphous-silicon-coated glass. The work compares Fourier scatterometry with spectral sensing of nanoscale structural changes.
HSQ was spin coated to a reported thickness of 60 nm at 8000 rpm for 60 s, with an acceleration of 1000 rpm/s. Electron-beam lithography and plasma etching then defined the silicon metarings. The substrate was a glass coverslip carrying 120 nm of amorphous silicon; its lateral dimensions were not specified. The paper identifies the Cee® coater for resist deposition and does not identify the bake equipment manufacturer. Source: Methods, Sample design and nanofabrication.
The process details describe the cited work. Reported recipes and results depend on the authors’ materials, substrates, and equipment configuration. Materials recorded for this reference include HSQ.
