Periodic Nanowell Array using Template-Assisted Nanosphere Lithography

چکیده
Nanosphere lithography (NSL) has been studied as the effective method of fabricating nano-scale array. This paper presents template-assisted NSL to obtain high-quality crystal in regularity and coverage. A periodic array of 100 nm deep nano trenches with two different widths, 400 and 450 nm was fabricated by nano imprint lithography (NIL), and used as the template. When polystyrene nanospheres with the diameter of 100 nm were spin-coated on the substrate with the template morphology, they formed a crystal array with improved periodicity in both lateral and longitudinal directions. We also demonstrated nanowell array through subsequent deposition and etching steps.

Wafer-scale fabrication of plasmonic crystals from patterned silicon templates prepared by nanosphere lithography.
By combining nanosphere lithography with template stripping, silicon wafers were patterned with hexagonal arrays of nanowells or pillars. These silicon masters were then replicated in gold by metal evaporation, resulting in wafer-scale hexagonal gratings for plasmonic applications. In the nanosphere lithography step, two-dimensional colloidal crystals of 510 nm diameter polystyrene spheres were...
متن کاملPlasmonic properties of film over nanowell surfaces fabricated by nanosphere lithography.
In this work, a detailed and systematic study of the plasmonic properties of a novel film over nanowell surface is investigated. These nanostructures are fabricated using nanosphere lithography and reactive ion etching and structurally characterized by AFM and SEM. The resulting structures show remarkably narrow plasmon bands in reflectance spectra (as little as 0.10 eV) and greater sensitivity...

Hexagonally patterned lysozyme nanoarrays have been assembled on silicon wafers by combining nanosphere lithography and surface silane chemistry using vapor and solution deposition processes. The patterned protein regions extend over cm sized regions, and the size of each island is approximately 120 nm for the solution-prepared template and approximately 60 nm for the vapor-prepared template. A...
