Resist of the month of October: Fluorescent resist structures with SX AR-P 672.08

Fluorescent structures are needed for optical components and in microscopy. In close collaboration with Precision Optics Gera GmbH we now achieved to add fluorescent dyes to PMMA e-beam resists on anisole basis which subsequently could be structured by electron beam lithography. Such structures with intense green-yellow or red fluorescence are shown in the images below.

The brilliant fluorescent PMMA resists will be presented at this year’s MNE conference in Portugal. First resist samples for own tests will shortly be available under the designation SX AR-P 672.08/1 for green-yellow and SX AR-P 672.08/2 for red fluorescence.

The successful results of these fluorescence products convinced us to choose both coatings as resists of the month of October.
