A laser-driven dielectric accelerator below 1 MeV is under development for applying a sub-micron size electron-beam to radiobiological research. Simulations of the electric field and electron trajectories in the proximity of the dielectric structure (transmission grating) were performed in order to fix parameters of the demonstration experiment. Serious deflection of electron beam towards the grating limited the injection phase as well as the height from the structure. The energy gain of 50-keV electron was estimated to be 1 keV in 30-micron length at the optimum condition. Transmission gratings for the experiment were fabricated by using facilities of the NIMS Nanofabrication Platform. In addition to the acceleration experiment using the simple grating, a resonator type accelerator structure was designed for exciting the acceleration field by a moderately small laser.
