Fine Patterning of Silver Metal by Electron Beam Irradiation onto Room-temperature Ionic Liquid
A new silver micropatterning method has been developed by electron beam irradiation to room-temperature ionic liquid containing silver salts. This is the first achievement that uses liquid media to obtain metal deposits by electron beam lithography. Silver deposits were obtained as designed with high resolution and purity compared to the existing direct writing method.
