Direct engraving of mask patterns in a resist film was tried by exposing with synchrotron radiation. Using a stencil mask made of a Si3N4 substrate, submicron structures could be successfully replicated. Fundamental aspects of resist decomposition by synchrotron radiation were also investigated by mass and electron spectroscopy.
