Photolithographic Approaches for Fabricating Highly Ordered Nanopatterned Arrays

Photolithographic Approaches for Fabricating Highly Ordered Nanopatterned Arrays

In this work, we report that large area metal nanowire and polymer nanotube arrays were successfully patterned by photolithographic approach using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. Nanowires were produced by electrochemical deposition, and nanotubes by solution-wetting. The highly ordered patterns of nanowire and nanotube arrays were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fo...

Fabricating ordered 2-D nano-structured arrays using nanosphere lithography

Recent advances in the use of plasmonic metamaterials to improve absorption of light in thin-film solar photovoltaic devices has created a demand for a scalable method of patterning large areas with metal nanostructures deposited in an ordered array. This article describes two methods of fabricating ordered 2D nanosphere colloidal films: spin coating and interface coating. The two methods are c...

Highly Ordered Arrays of Femtoliter Surface Droplets.

exploited to manipulate the average droplet size on homogeneous substrates. [ 25,26 ] In particular, it has been demonstrated that the average droplet size can be tuned through global modulation of the concentration gradient in the solutions to produce droplet heights on the order 0.01–1 μm (and hence the term “mesoscale droplets”) and droplet volumes in the 0.5–50 femtoliter (fL) range. [ 27 ]...

Highly ordered silicon pillar arrays as platforms for planar chromatography.

Unlike HPLC, there has been sparse advancement in the stationary phases used for planar chromatography. Nevertheless, modernization of planar chromatography platforms can further highlight the technique's ability to separate multiple samples simultaneously, utilize orthogonal separation formats, image (detect) separations without rigorous temporal demands, and its overall simplicity. This paper...
