Abstract

Three-dimensional nanolithography was investigated using proton beam writing. When the proton beam interacts with matter it follows an almost straight path. It was observed that the secondary electrons induced by the primary proton beams have low energy and therefore limited range, resulting in minimal proximity effects.
