How Does Crystallographic Orientation Affect Nanofabrication?
In nanofabrication, the crystallographic orientation can influence the etching process, deposition, and overall structural integrity of the nanomaterial. For instance, during etching, some orientations may etch faster than others, leading to anisotropic structures that are essential in MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and NEMS (Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems).
