Abstract

We propose a photolithographic method to fabricate nanostructures by employing a localized surface plasmon (LSP) mask generated by a soft mold on a thin metal film. The soft mold can be formed by transparent materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane, contacting firmly to the metal film. The pattern edges of the mold, serving as the fine tapers, can be used to excite LSPs and accumulate a large amount of localized energy from the incident light field, providing a modulated optical field in the resist with nanometer feature size. Nanolithographic results with a minimum feature size of 30nm are demonstrated.
