چکیده

Patterning of materials at sub-10 nm dimensions is at the forefront of nanotechnology and employs techniques of various complexity, efficiency, areal scale, and cost. Colloid-based patterning is known to be capable of producing individual sub-10 nm objects. However, ordered, large-area nano-arrays, fully integrated into photonic or electronic devices have remained a challenging task. In this work, we extend the practice of colloidal lithography to producing large-area sub-10 nm point-contact arrays and demonstrate their circuit integration into spin-photo-electronic devices. The reported nanofabrication method should have broad application areas in nanotechnology as it allows ballistic-injection devices, even for metallic materials with relatively short characteristic relaxation lengths.

Voltage-driven spintronic logic gates in graphene nanoribbons

Electronic devices lose efficacy due to quantum effect when the line-width of gate decreases to sub-10 nm. Spintronics overcome this bottleneck and logic gates are building blocks of integrated circuits. Thus, it is essential to control electronic transport of opposite spins for designing a spintronic logic gate, and spin-selective semiconductors are natural candidates such as zigzag graphene n...

Sub-10-nm half-pitch electron-beam lithography by using poly(methyl methacrylate) as a negative resist

Developing high-resolution resists and processes for electron-beam lithography is of great importance for high-density magnetic storage, integrated circuits, and nanoelectronic and nanophotonic devices. Until now, hydrogen silsesquioxane HSQ and calixarene were the only two reported negative resists that could approach sub-10-nm half-pitch resolution for electron-beam lithography. Here, the aut...

Lithography for enabling advances in integrated circuits and devices.

Because the transistor was fabricated in volume, lithography has enabled the increase in density of devices and integrated circuits. With the invention of the integrated circuit, lithography enabled the integration of higher densities of field-effect transistors through evolutionary applications of optical lithography. In 1994, the semiconductor industry determined that continuing the increase ...

Sub-20-nm alignment in nanoimprint lithography using Moiré fringe.

Accurate multi-level overlay capability for nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is essential to integrated circuit manufacturing and other multilayer imprint applications. Using the "beat" grating image (Moiré fringe) generated by overlaying two sets of gratings that have slightly different periods, we obtained an alignment signal with a sensitivity better than 10 nm in nanoimprint lithography. The a...
