Abstract

The solid immersion lens (SIL) and modified liquid immersion lens (MLIL) using a GaP lens resolve the 400 nm pitch periodical structure are demonstrated. The edge response of the MLIL is 300 nm, which is approximately 1/3 as small as that of conventional objective lens. The amorphous marks, 200 nm in diameter, can be recorded and read by the MLIL and a red semiconductor laser.
