Maintaining clean surfaces is vital for several reasons:
Performance: Contaminants can alter the electrical properties of nanodevices, leading to reduced efficiency and reliability. Durability: Clean surfaces are less prone to wear and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the device or material. Precision: In applications like nanoimprint lithography, precision is key. Any contamination can lead to defects in the imprinted patterns. Biocompatibility: For biomedical applications, clean surfaces are essential to prevent adverse biological reactions.
