Abstract
We propose a simple theoretical model to predict the exposure profiles of a photoresist obtained with evanescent fields of nanoapertures. Assuming the electric field intensity to be a Gaussian distribution function with an exponential decay, the top critical dimension and the depth of the photoresist profile are described with analytic formulas. The profiles are analyzed as a function of the photoresist contrast and the electric field intensity decay length.
