Nanolithography: A technique used to create structures at the nanometer scale. It is essential for fabricating nanoscale devices and circuits. Self-assembly: A process by which molecules position themselves into a structured arrangement without human intervention. It is used to create complex nanostructures. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): A technique for applying thin films layer by layer, allowing for precise control over thickness and composition. Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL): A method of fabricating nanometer-scale patterns by mechanically deforming a resist. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process used to produce high-quality, high-performance solid materials, typically under vacuum.
