<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_beam_writing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Proton Beam Writing</a>
The advantages listed can be summarised as follows -
- Proton beams have deeper penetration than electrons in materials.
- Since Proton beams travel in an almost straight path, they make fabrication of 3-D, high aspect ratio structures possible.
- Proton beam writing exhibits minimal proximity effects.
- Proton beams can displace atoms while traversing material, a feature which minimizes localized damage especially at the end of range.
