Abstract:
We develop compact microsphere self-interference lithography via a single laser beam incident into a self-assembled dual-layered microsphere array to achieve parallel fabrication of periodic units with nanopatterns (PUNs). Interference units with tens of millions are achieved through micron-thick dual-layered microsphere arrays. The periodic units with nanoholes (NHs), nanogrooves (NGs), and nanoslots (NSs) can be fabricated by simply varying incident laser polarization states. The minimum linewidth is 75 nm (similar to lambda/4.5), and the single-shot exposure area is up to 1 cm2. An analytical model of polarization-dependent tri-beam interferences is developed to interpret the PUN formation. Au-coated PUNs demonstrate extraordinary performance for customized surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates, of which the polarization sensitivity can be regulated and the limit of detection is down to 3 x 10-10 M. The present work opens up new opportunities for high-throughput laser parallel nanofabrication for various applications. (c) 2025 Optica Publishing Group.
