Inverse Design of High-NA Metalens for Maskless Lithography (2212.06441v1)

Published 13 Dec 2022 in physics.optics

Abstract: We demonstrate an axisymmetric inverse-designed metalens to improve the performance of zone-plate-array lithography (ZPAL), one of the maskless lithography approaches, that offer a new paradigm for nanoscale research and industry. First, we derive a computational upper bound for a unit-cell-based axisymmetric metalens. Then, we demonstrate a fabrication-compatible inverse-designed metalens with 85.50\% transmission normalized focusing efficiency at 0.6 numerical aperture at 405nm wavelength; a higher efficiency than a theoretical gradient index lens design (79.98\%). We also demonstrate experimental validation for our axisymmetric inverse-designed metalens via electron beam lithography. Metalens-based maskless lithography may open a new way of achieving low-cost, large-area nanofabrication.
