Abstract

Fresnel Zone Plates (FZP) are to date very successful focusing optics for X-rays. Established methods of fabrication are rather complex and based on electron beam lithography (EBL). Here, we show that ion beam lithography (IBL) may advantageously simplify their preparation. A FZP operable from the extreme UV to the limit of the hard X-ray was prepared and tested from 450 eV to 1500 eV. The trapezoidal profile of the FZP favorably activates its 2nd order focus. The FZP with an outermost zone width of 100 nm allows the visualization of features down to 61, 31 and 21 nm in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd order focus respectively. Measured efficiencies in the 1st and 2nd order of diffraction reach the theoretical predictions.

Representation of the fabricated gold FZP (up and cross-sectional side view): Only a few zones are displayed for sake of simplicity. Positive FZP for which the first zone is filled with gold and the last zone is empty; the zone material is polycrystalline gold; the zone height is 500 nm; the diameter is 100 µm; the outermost zone period Λ is 200 nm (corresponding to an outermost zone width Δr of 100 nm); the number of zones N is 251; α is the angle characteristic of the inclination of the walls as a result of ion beam lithography.

Measured and theoretical efficiencies for the first order focus of the FZP. The theoretical efficiencies for a trapezoidal FZP were calculated for an angle α = 6° within the frame work of the thin grating theory (TG) and the Takagi-Taupin dynamical diffraction theory (TT-DDT). Note that in the real structure the angle α takes value between 4° and 6° which could explain the differences between theoretical and measured values.
