Abstract

A method for fabricating atom chips with a lithographic lift-off process was discussed. Wires that can tolerate high current densities of >10 7 A/cm2 were produced with this method. It was found that the fabrication process leads to very accurate edge and bulk features, limited by the grain size of 50-80 nm. Among the materials tested, silicon was found to be the best suited substrate for atom chips.
