Canyon Materials, Inc. - Properties of HEBS Glass
















For DOE fabrication the Optical Density Values of a HEBS-glass Multi-Gray Level Mask is Typically from 0.1 to 1.2; Linear Portion of a Calibration Curve Can Be Utilized

The net optical density in the visible spectral range was measured as a function of electron dosage using HEBS-glass plates having been exposed in a number of 3mm × 3mm square areas with the following e-beam pattern generators:

  • MEBES of ETEC Systems, Inc.,
  • Cambridge EBMF 10.5 e-beam writer.
Results of exemplary exposure schemes are discussed immediately below

Fig. 7(a) exhibits net optical density values at 435nm vs electron dosage at 30 kv. The e-beam exposure was done using the vector scan e-beam writer, Cambridge EBMF 10.5 The e-beam parameters are as follows:

Curve A - 30 kv, 250na beam current, 0.4µm addressing grid spacing.
Curve B - 30 kv, 75na beam current, 0.2µm addressing grid spacing.

The data points of the net optical density values at 435nm resulting from EVC flood gun exposure at 30kv are shown in the figure for comparison.

Fig. 7(b) displays the corresponding net optical denisty values at 530nm as a function of electron dosage at 30kv.

Fig. 7(c) exhibits the corresponding net optical density values at 630nm as a function of electron dosage at 30kv.
