What Techniques are Used for Nanotechnology Prototyping?
Several advanced techniques are employed in nanotechnology prototyping, including:
- Electron Beam Lithography (EBL): A method used to create extremely fine patterns needed for nanodevices. - Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): A technique that provides high-resolution imaging and can manipulate nanoscale materials. - Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL): A method for fabricating nanostructures by pressing a nanostructured stamp into a polymer substrate. - Molecular Self-Assembly: A process where molecules spontaneously form organized structures without human intervention. - Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): A technique used to produce high-quality, high-performance solid materials.
