Abstract: | X-ray imaging and microscopy techniques have been developed in worldwide due to their capabilities of large penetration power and high spatial resolution. Fresnel zone plates is considered to be one of the most convenient optic devices for X-ray imaging and microscopy system. The zone plates with aspect ratio of 7 and 13 have been fabricated by e-beam lithography combined with X-ray lithography in this paper. Firstly, the X-ray lithography mask of zone plates with outermost zone width of 100 nm was fabricated by e-beam lithography and gold electroplating techniques. Secondly, the zone plates with gold profile thickness of 700 and 1,300 nm were replicated by X-ray lithography and gold electroplating techniques. X-ray imaging and microscopy techniques were introduced to characterize the high-aspect-ratio zone plates’ inner structures. At the X-ray energy of 7.5 keV, the first-order focusing efficiency of zone plates with gold profile thickness of 700 nm is about 8.63%. |
