The next generation of reflection gratings for future high-energy space observatories need a high degree of customization. Making such gratings will require the use of increasingly complex nanofabrication techniques. One of the current challenges we are investigating is the precise patterning of grooves onto curved substrates. We report on our use of electron-beam lithography to fabricate gratings on cylindrical substrates, specifically designed to be tested for spectral resolution. We will discuss the steps involved and their hurdles, from the alignment of the substrate to the actual writing strategy.
