Despite its advantages, replication in nanotechnology faces several challenges:
Defect Control: Ensuring defect-free replication is crucial for the high performance of nano-devices. Even minor defects can significantly impact functionality. Material Limitations: The properties of materials used in replication can affect the fidelity and durability of the replicated structures. Resolution Limits: Achieving extremely high resolution is challenging, especially for complex three-dimensional structures. Cost and Time: Some replication techniques can be expensive and time-consuming, limiting their application in large-scale production.
