Fabrication of permalloy nanostructure
by Damascene technique
①Preparation of substrate: Spin-coating of ZEP resist with
high etching resistance
②EB-exposition: Write patterns by EB
③Development:
Formation
of
mask-pattern
by
development
④Etching : By dry-etching process mask-pattern is
transferred to the substrate
⑤Deposition of magnetic film: Deposition of magnetic films
by sputter or evaporation
⑥Polishing: Obtain flat buried structure using chemicalmechanical polishing
Process is simplified by abbreviation of lift-off and repeated
spin-coating

Summary
• Square, rectangular and circular dot arrays of
0.1-1 m in dimension buried in Si wafer have
been successfully obtained by Damascene
technique using EB lithography
• MFM observation in square dot clearly shows
closure domain pattern.
• MFM images of smaller dots show influence of
magnetic field from the probe tip
• MSHG reflects symmetry of dot-arrangements
