Functional surface nanostructures with highly-regular patterns, tunable properties and broad application potential — •Yong Lei and Gerhard Wilde — Institut für Materialphysik, Universität Münster, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10, 48149 Münster, Germany
Using a new surface nano-patterning technique - the UTAM (ultra-thin alumina mask) nano-patterning, ordered arrays of zero-dimensional nanostructures (such as e.g. CdSe nanodots or Si nanoholes) and one-dimensional nanostructures (such as e.g. carbon nanotubes or Ni nanowires) were fabricated on flat substrates. The ordered nanoparticles and nanoholes were prepared using vacuum evaporation processes and focused-ion-beam etching, respectively. The carbon nanotube arrays were initiated from UTAM-prepared catalyst (metal) nanoparticle arrays in a PECVD process. The feature size of the UTAM-fabricated surface nanostructures can be adjusted in the range of about 10-200 nm. The advantages of the UTAM surface nano-patterning, such as the achievement of tunable properties, large pattern area, high throughput and low equipment costs, make the technique quite suitable to fabricate ordered surface nanostructures with a broad range of potential applications ranging from optics and electronics applications to fabricating nanoscale devices. 1.
