An industry compatible low-damage nano-patterning process for LAO/STO heterostructures — •Mohsin Zamir Minhas1, Hans-Helmuth Blaschek1, Frank Heyroth2, and Georg Schmidt1, 21Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle (Saale), Germany — 2Interdisziplinäres Zentrum für Materialwissenschaften, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle (Saale) , Germany

The discovery of an electron gas at the interface between the two band insulators LaAlO3 (LAO) and SrTiO3 (STO)[1] has initiated a huge effort to study this interface in detail. Later on other interesting properties such as induced ferromagnetism[2] and superconductivity[3] have been reported which make the LAO/STO interface a model system to study the fundamental physics of strongly correlated electronic system and also a candidate for future multifunctional oxide electronics. A reproducible nano-patterning technique is required to develop this unique interface into useful technologies. Here we present a reliable technique to physically pattern the quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (q2DEG) down to lateral dimensions as small as 100nm while maintaining its conducting properties. The fully industry compatible process uses electron beam lithography in combination with reactive ion etching. Temperature dependent transport properties of patterned Hall bars of various widths show a small size dependence of conductivity. The deviation can be explained by a narrow lateral depletion region.
