The causes of manufacturing defects in nanotechnology are multifaceted, often stemming from the complex nature of nanoscale fabrication. Key factors include:
Process variability: Fluctuations in temperature, pressure, and chemical composition during fabrication can introduce defects. Equipment limitations: The precision of the equipment used in nanofabrication can influence the occurrence of defects. Material quality: The inherent quality of the raw materials used can impact the final product's defect density. Human error: Mistakes made by operators during the fabrication process can lead to defects.
