How to create nanometer sized structures with ease?

An approximately one-hour lecture on the different methods of nanolithography and their operation principle (Anodic oxidation, scratching by constant force and by constant depth). SmartLitho software will be introduced and explained how to use. Nanomanipulation technique will also be mentioned. Questions are welcomed at any time during the lecture. Introductory Nanolithography Video (10 min).

​

Interactive Demo Session Six:

Interactive session will consist of demonstrating anodic oxidation and scratching on different samples. Lithography parameters will be explained with emphasis on drawing speed, humidity, and tip spring constant. Silicon wafer with nanoparticles and polycarbonate film will be used as demonstration samples. Questions are welcomed at any time during the session.
