What Techniques are Used to Achieve High Precision?
Several advanced techniques are employed to achieve the necessary precision in nanotechnology:
1. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): This technique allows for the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules on a surface. 2. Electron Beam Lithography (EBL): EBL uses a focused beam of electrons to create extremely fine patterns on a substrate. 3. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE): MBE precisely deposits atomic layers of materials to create high-quality crystals. 4. Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL): NIL involves pressing a mold with nanoscale features into a substrate to create patterns.
