Nanomanufacturing
1. Bottom-up fabrication
Manufactures
products by
building them up
from atomic – and
molecular scale
components.
2. Top-down fabrication
It trims down large
pieces of materials
into nanoscale.
Dip-pen lithography
A method in which the tip of an atomic force microscope is “dipped”
into a chemical fluid and then utilized to “write” on a surface, like an
old-fashioned ink pen onto paper.
Self-assembly
Depicts an approach wherein a set of components join together to mold
an organized structure in the absence of an outside direction.
Chemical vapor deposition
A procedure wherein chemicals act in response to form very pure, high
performance films.
Process from left to right.
Nanoimprint lithography
-A method of generating nanoscale attributes by stamping or printing
them into a surface.
Molecular beam
epitaxy
- A manner of depositing extremely controlled thin films.
Roll-to roll processing
- A high-volume practice for constructing nanoscale devices on a roll of
ultrathin plastic or metal.
Atomic layer epitaxy
- A means for laying down one-atomic-thick layers on a surface.
