Fabrication of PECVD-grown fluorinated hydrocarbon nanoparticles and circular nanoring arrays using nanosphere lithography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nanosphere lithography (NSL) masks were created by spin-coating of polystyrene particles onto silicon surfaces. Fluorinated hydrocarbon films were coated on the nanosphere lithography masks using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to obtain ordered arrays of fluorinated hydrocarbon. Atomic force microscope images show hexagonally ordered nanodots of dimension 225 ± 11 nm with a height of 23 ± 4 nm. Every hexagon encloses a circular ring of diameter 540 ± 24 nm having a height and width of 13.5 ± 0.6 nm and 203 ± 16 nm, respectively. FTIR analysis shows two distinct zones of atomic bonding of CHx and CFx in the plasma coated ordered fluorinated hydrocarbon films. PACS 81.07.−b; 68.37.Ps; 78.30.Jw

Quasi-3D gold nanoring cavity arrays with high-density hot-spots for SERS applications via nanosphere lithography.
Large-scale ordered arrays with dense hot spots are highly desirable substrates for practical applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In the past decade, most work has focused on using lateral gaps between two metal structures. However, the strength and density of the generated hot spots are limited to a 2D arrangement of nanostructures. In this work, we present a novel q...
متن کاملA facile fabrication process for polystyrene nanoring arrays.
Polystyrene nanoring arrays with outer diameters ranging from 130 to 230 nm were fabricated using low cost and simple fabrication techniques, including nanosphere lithography, argon plasma treatment, immersion in organic solvents and sonication. These nanorings were developed from polystyrene nanospheres pre-assembled on substrates. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the argon plasma tr...
متن کاملA modified nanosphere lithography for the fabrication of aminosilane/polystyrene nanoring arrays and the subsequent attachment of gold or DNA-capped gold nanoparticles
A modified nanosphere lithographic method for producing arrays of silanized structures at silicon surfaces is described. Polystyrene (PS) particles (600 nm or 1000 nm in diameter) were self-assembled onto a silicon substrate to form a hexagonal close-packed pattern. The resultant patterned surface was then exposed to a solution of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS), which deposited gradually i...

متن کاملFabrication of shape-controlled reduced graphene oxide nanorings by Au@Pt nanoring lithography.
We fabricated a variety of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanoring arrays using Au@Pt nanoplates as a pattern mask. RGO nanoflakes were assembled into a 2-dimensional assembly at the water-oil interface, and then various shapes of Au@Pt nanoplates were utilized as a pattern mask in order to convert the RGO into circular, triangular, and hexagonal RGO nanorings.
