There are several types of templates used in nanotechnology, including:
Lithographic templates: Created using advanced lithography techniques, these templates offer high precision and are often used in semiconductor manufacturing. Porous templates: Made from materials like anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) or track-etched membranes, these templates have a network of pores that guide the formation of nanowires or nanotubes. Biotemplates: Derived from biological materials like DNA, proteins, or viruses, these templates can direct the assembly of nanomaterials with high specificity.
