How do we build so small: Nanofabrication

Top-down Approach

Construct the nanostructure, starting with a larger component by remove or alter the material

1. Photo Lithography2. Soft Lithography (Micro Contact Printing)3. Scanning Probe based Lithography etc.

Bottom-up Approach

Formation of small devices or nanostructures from molecules or atoms

1. Self assembly process (molecules, colloidal particles etc)2. Carbon Nanotubes etc

1111

Photolithography

Photolithography is a process, which remove parts of a thin film (or the bulk of a substrate), by light exposure through Photo-mask

1. Light Source: Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) light below 300 nm wavelengths

2. Minimum Pattern Size: 100 nm

3. Mass Production

Gold Nanoparticles arrays

Soft Lithography (Micro Contact Printing)

1. Efficient methods for the duplication of the shape and morphology from the mold surface at micro to nano-scale

2. The stamps are made from poly(dimethyl)siloxane(PDMS)

3. Lower cost than traditional photolithography 4. Mass production 5. Well-suited for applications in Biotechnology6. Smaller pattern size than photolithography

(~30nm vs ~100nm)

1414

Soft Lithography

Fluorescence microscopy images of arrays of (A) 10 um, (B) 5 um spots of Texas-Red labelled Streptavidin/Biotin complex by micro-contact printed on poly(methyl methacrylate)

Micro-contact printing, in which a weakly bound film is displaced by contact stamping with molecules

that bind more strongly to the substrate

1515

Dip Pen Lithography

AFM tip is used to deliver molecules to a surface via a solvent meniscus. This direct-write technique offers high-resolution patterning capabilities for a number of molecular and bio-molecular or colloidal ink and they forms a self assembled monolayer. Sub-100nm length scale features are fabricated by this method.

Self Assembled Monolayer

“A two-dimensional film, one molecule thick, covalently organized or assembled at an interface”

1717

Why self assembly system is important

1. Reduces the Friction and Adhesion: Lubrication engineering

2. Chemical Biological Sensors

3. Patterning

4. Wettability

Carbon Nanotubes

“Allotropes of Carbon”

Single Wall Nanotubes are one atom thick sheet of graphite rolled up into a seamless cylinder with diameter of the order of a nanometer.

Multi Wall Nanotubes consist of multiple layers of graphite rolled in on themselves to form tube shape

The strength and flexibility of carbon nanotubes makes them of potential use in Nanotechnology

Nanoparticles

The chemical properties (reactivity, flammability, etc.) and the physical properties (melting point, conductivity, optical property etc.) all changes at the nano-scale. Size-dependent properties are the major reason, that nano-scale objects have such amazing potential.

Scanning Probe Microscope“Image of the surfaces using a physical probe that scans the specimen”

1. Atomic Force Microscopy

“Measure the surface features due to atomic force interaction between tip & sample”A. Contact AFM,B. Non-contact AFM and C. Dynamic contact AFM

2. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

“Detect a weak electric current flowing between tip and the surface”

3. Magnetic Force Microscopy

“Magnetic interaction between tip and samples”

4. Kelvin Force Microscopy

“Work function or chemical contrast of surfaces can be observed at nano-scales”
