Abstract
Parallel nanohole drilling in glass using an ArF excimer laser (193Â nm) is demonstrated. For the first time, hole arrays with 500Â nm pitch and individual holes with 250Â nm diameter and more than 100Â nm depth are fabricated by phase mask imaging using a Schwarzschild objective. Holes in soda lime glass are drilled by direct ablation; fused silica is processed by depositing a SiOx-film on SiO2, patterning the SiOx by ablation, and finally oxidizing the remaining SiOx to SiO2. Thermally induced ordered dewetting of noble metal films deposited on such templates may be used for the fabrication of plasmonic devices.
