Abstract

One of the major challenges in the rapidly advancing field of nanophotonics is creating high-aspect-ratio nanostructures over large-area with consistent precision. Traditional techniques like photolithography and etching fall short, being limited to fabricating structures with a typical feature size of 100 nm and a maximum aspect ratio of 30:1. To break through these barriers, herein we introduce a strategy, called wet-chemical etching assisted aberration-enhanced single-pulsed femtosecond laser-supplemented nanolithography (WEALTH), for manufacturing large-area deep holey nanostructures. This strategy enables fabrication of nanostructures with diameters as small as 25 nm (exceeding 1/30 of Abbe’s diffraction…
