What are the Key Techniques in Advanced Fabrication?
Several key techniques are employed in advanced fabrication within nanotechnology. These include:
Lithography: A top-down approach where patterns are created on a substrate using light, electrons, or ions. Self-Assembly: A bottom-up approach where molecules and nanoparticles spontaneously form ordered structures. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A process where gaseous reactants form a solid material on a substrate. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): A technique for depositing thin films one atomic layer at a time. Nanoimprint Lithography: A method where a mold is used to create nanoscale patterns by mechanical deformation.
