Compact discs as versatile cost-effective substrates for releasable nanopatterned aluminium films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate that standard polycarbonate compact disk surfaces can provide unique adhesion to Al films that is both strong enough to permit Al film nanopatterning and weak enough to allow easy nanopatterned Al film detachment using Scotch tape. Transferred Al nanohole arrays on Scotch tape exhibit excellent optical and plasmonic performance.

Micro-Shaping of Nanopatterned Surfaces by Electron Beam Irradiation
We show that planar nanopatterned thin films on standard polycarbonate (PC) compact discs (CD) can be micro-shaped in a non-contact manner via direct e-beam exposure. The shape of the film can be controlled by proper selection of the e-beam parameters. As an example of application, we demonstrate a two-dimensional (2D) array of micro-lenses/reservoirs conformally covered by an Al 2D nanohole ar...
متن کاملThree-dimensional nanopillar-array photovoltaics on low-cost and flexible substrates.
Solar energy represents one of the most abundant and yet least harvested sources of renewable energy. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in developing photovoltaics that can be potentially mass deployed. Of particular interest to cost-effective solar cells is to use novel device structures and materials processing for enabling acceptable efficiencies. In this regard, here, we re...
متن کاملLarge-scale fabrication of nanopatterned sapphire substrates by annealing of patterned Al thin films by soft UV-nanoimprint lithography
Large-scale nanopatterned sapphire substrates were fabricated by annealing of patterned Al thin films. Patterned Al thin films were obtained by soft UV-nanoimprint lithography and reactive ion etching. The soft mold with 550-nm-wide lines separated by 250-nm space was composed of the toluene-diluted polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer supported by the soft PDMS. Patterned Al thin films were subse...
متن کاملCrystalline phases of II-VI compound semiconductors grown by pulsed laser deposition
II-VI compound semiconductors, ZnS, ZnSe, CdS, CdSe, and CdTe, were grown epitaxially on ~111! and ~100! InP and GaAs substrates by excimer laser ablation. All of these films have good crystalline quality ~fully in-plane aligned! and mirror-like surface morphology. It was found that, on ~111!-oriented substrates, CdS and CdSe films were in the hexagonal phase with the c axis perpendicular to th...
متن کاملSynthesis of Boron-Aluminum Nitride Thin Film by Chemical Vapour Deposition Using Gas Bubbler
Boron included aluminium nitride (B-AlN) thin films were synthesized on silicon (Si) substrates through chemical vapour deposition ( CVD ) at 773 K (500 °C). tert-buthylamine (tBuNH2) solution was used as nitrogen source and delivered through gas bubbler. B-AlN thin films were prepared on Si-100 substrates by varying gas mixture ratio of three precursors. The structural properties of the films ...
