A thermostable trilayer resist for niobium lift-off
Abstract
We have developped a novel lift-off process for fabrication of high quality superconducting submicron niobium structures. The process makes use of a thermostable polymer with a high transition temperature Tg= 235 C and an excellent chemical stability. The superconducting critical temperature of 100 nm wide niobium lines is above 7 K. An example of shadow evaporation of a Nb-Cu submicron hybrid structure is given. A potential application of this process is the fabrication of very small single electron devices using refratory metals.
