What Challenges are Associated with Achieving High Precision?
Several challenges must be overcome to achieve high precision in nanotechnology manufacturing:
1. Contamination: At the nanoscale, even minor contaminants can significantly impact the properties of the material. 2. Thermal Fluctuations: Small temperature changes can cause significant expansions or contractions in materials, affecting precision. 3. Alignment: Ensuring that all components are precisely aligned is difficult due to the tiny scales involved. 4. Tool Limitations: Current tools may not always provide the necessary resolution or control for certain applications.
