Tip-Based Nanofabrication for Scalable Manufacturing

Scalable manufacturing of plasmonic nanodisk dimers and cusp nanostructures using salting-out quenching method and colloidal lithography.

Localization of large electric fields in plasmonic nanostructures enables various processes such as single-molecule detection, higher harmonic light generation, and control of molecular fluorescence and absorption. High-throughput, simple nanofabrication techniques are essential for implementing plasmonic nanostructures with large electric fields for practical applications. In this article we d...

CMOS-MEMS Probe Arrays for Tip-Based Nanofabrication

Nanofluidic channels of arbitrary shapes fabricated by tip-based nanofabrication.

Nanofluidic channels have promising applications in biomolecule manipulation and sensing. While several different methods of fabrication have been demonstrated for nanofluidic channels, a rapid, low-cost fabrication method that can fabricate arbitrary shapes of nanofluidic channels is still in demand. Here, we report a tip-based nanofabrication (TBN) method for fabricating nanofluidic channels ...

Extrusion Roller Imprinting with a Variotherm Belt Mold

Although many precision fabrication techniques have demonstrated the ability to produce microstructures and micro-devices with sub 100 nm accuracy, we are yet to see a scalable manufacturing process for large-area production. One promising solution to scalable microand nanofabrication is thermal roller imprinting. However, existing investigations on thermal roller imprinting revealed poor patte...

Tip-Based Nanofabrication of Arbitrary Shapes of Graphene Nanoribbons for Device Applications.

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have promising applications in future nanoelectronics, chemical sensing and electrical interconnects. Although there are quite a few GNR nanofabrication methods reported, a rapid and low-cost fabrication method that is capable of fabricating arbitrary shapes of GNRs with good-quality is still in demand for using GNRs for device applications. In this paper, we present...
