Penning ion traps have proven to be an excellent tool for g-factor comparison tests of matter and antimatter in the baryonic sector of the Standard Model [1,2]. At Leibniz University of Hannover, within the BASE collaboration [3], we are working on the development of quantum-logic inspired methods based on Coulomb coupling of single (anti-)protons to a laser-cooled beryllium ion for better particle localization and detection on these g-factor experiments [4]. Microfabricated Penning trap electrodes of 800 µ m inner diameter and a thickness of 200 µ m are necessary to gain full control over the coupling process. A challenging part of the microfabrication are the processes of photolithography because of three-dimensional structures and double-sided geometry of the electrodes. In this contribution recent methods for optimization of these processes are analyzed and evaluated.
