Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The Dolan technique has been widely used for mesoscopic device fabrication, in which tiny tunnel junctions are realized by electron-beam lithography with a bilayer resist followed by two-angle shadow evaporation. As the dimensions of tunnel junctions are miniaturized, fluctuation of lithography limits the uniformity of junctions. In this work, we propose a SiO-assisted Dolan technique as a method for improving the uniformity. We also propose an evaluation method of junction uniformity via electrical conduction properties of one-dimensional junction arrays. We experimentally demonstrate better junction uniformity of the SiO-assisted Dolan technique in comparison with those fabricated using the conventional one.
