Highly-efficient growth of cobalt nanostructures using focused ion beam induced deposition under cryogenic conditions: application to electrical contacts on graphene, magnetism and hard masking
Emergent technologies are required in the field of nanoelectronics for improved contacts and interconnects at nano and micro-scale. In this work, we report a highly-efficient nanolithography process for the growth of cobalt nanostructures requiring an ultra-low charge dose (15 μC cm(−2), unprecedent...

description | Emergent technologies are required in the field of nanoelectronics for improved contacts and interconnects at nano and micro-scale. In this work, we report a highly-efficient nanolithography process for the growth of cobalt nanostructures requiring an ultra-low charge dose (15 μC cm(−2), unprecedented in single-step charge-based nanopatterning). This resist-free process consists in the condensation of a ∼28 nm-thick Co(2)(CO)(8) layer on a substrate held at −100 °C, its irradiation with a Ga(+) focused ion beam, and substrate heating up to room temperature. The resulting cobalt-based deposits exhibit sub-100 nm lateral resolution, display metallic behaviour (room-temperature resistivity of 200 μΩ cm), present ferromagnetic properties (magnetization at room temperature of 400 emu cm(−3)) and can be grown in large areas. To put these results in perspective, similar properties can be achieved by room-temperature focused ion beam induced deposition and the same precursor only if a 2 × 10(3) times higher charge dose is used. We demonstrate the application of such an ultra-fast growth process to directly create electrical contacts onto graphene ribbons, opening the route for a broad application of this technology to any 2D material. In addition, the application of these cryo-deposits for hard masking is demonstrated, confirming its structural functionality. |
