Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.

Abstract (eng): A novel aluminum oxide (Al2O3) hard mask fabrication process with nanoscale resolution is introduced in this work.
The Al2O3 mask can be used for various purposes, and in this thesis it was utilized for silicon patterning using cryogenic deep reactive ion etching (DRIE).
Patterning of Al2O3 is a two-step process utilizing focused ion beam (FIB) irradiation combined with wet etching.
Ga+ FIB maskless patterning renders wet etch selectivity between the irradiated region and the non-irradiated region on the Al2O3 layer, and mask patterns can be easily revealed by wet etching.
This method is a modification of direct Ga+ FIB implantation for silicon etch stop.
Introducing an Al2O3 layer eliminates the lattice damage and doping to silicon substrate in critical devices, as an extra film protects the underlying silicon from Ga+ ions.
Masking capacity is evaluated in terms of equal width line and space pairs amount per 1 µm in a nano-line array. 7 pairs per 1 µm is achieved in this work.
