What are the Commonly Used Methods in Hybrid Fabrication?
Several fabrication techniques are frequently combined in hybrid approaches. These include:
Lithography: A top-down method used to pattern nanoscale structures on surfaces. Common types include photolithography and electron-beam lithography. Self-assembly: A bottom-up approach where molecules spontaneously organize into ordered structures. This method is often used for creating nanostructures with specific properties. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process to deposit thin films of materials onto substrates. CVD is widely used for growing nanowires and nanotubes. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): A technique for depositing atomic layers of materials with high precision, useful for coating complex nanostructures. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE): A method for growing crystalline layers of materials at the atomic level, often used in the fabrication of high-quality semiconductor nanostructures.
