The fundamentals laser interference lithography (LIL) and the experimental setup -
Lloyd’s-Mirror Interferometer- are described, which allows the parallel fabrication of
periodic nanostructures, such as grating and hole/dot arrays, with a period ranging from
170 nm to 1.5 μm on 4-inch wafer areas. The following novel nanostructured
applications have been developed: (1) Combined with electrodeposition or atomic layer
deposition techniques, large-scale nanowire and nanoring arrays have been fabricated.
(2) Wafer-scale Si N and Ni imprint stamps with periodic imprint structures have been 3 4
replicated from master structures generated by LIL. They were employed for the
prestructuring of the aluminium surfaces prior to the anodization process and thus
wafer-scale long-range ordered porous alumina membranes have been obtained; (3) Fin-
like nanostructure arrays, nanogroove arrays and sealed hollow nanochannel arrays in
silicon with EBL competitive resolutions have been obtained in combination with
oxidative size-reduction strategy. Nanochannel arrays with square channel profiles are
available with sacrificial resist method based on LIL generated grating structures. 0 CONTENTS 2

1 INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, the development of integrated circuits (IC) in industrial production points
towards integration of more devices per chip area. In addition, materials in nanometer
dimensions show novel physical and chemical effects. The pattern generation
technologies realize the circuit design data into actual physical structures. Therefore, the
IC industry and scientific research rely more and more on nanofabrication technologies,
which are outgrowth and extension of microfabrication.
Optical lithography is well established as the manufacturing technology of choice for
the IC industry which has already achieved gate lengths of 65 nm and less in
production. The resolution of pro
