Although the interaction of a flat foil with currently available laser intensities is now considered a routine process, during the last decade, emphasis has been given to targets with complex geometries aiming at increasing the ion energy. This work presents a target geometry where two symmetric side holes and a central hole are drilled into the foil. A study of the various side-hole and central-hole length combinations is performed with two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations for polyethylene targets and a laser intensity of 5.2 imes 10^{21} ext{W} ext{cm}^{-2}. The holed targets show a remarkable increase of the conversion efficiency, which corresponds to a different target configuration for electrons, protons and carbon ions. Furthermore, diffraction of the laser pulse leads to a directional high energy electron beam, with a temperature of {sim}40 ext{MeV}, or seven times higher than in the case of a flat foil.
