Nanofabrication: Principles, Capabilities and Limits presents a one-stop description at the introductory level on most technologies that have been developed which are capable of making structures below 100nm.Principles of each technology are introduced and illustrated with minimum mathematics involved. The capabilities of each technology in making sub-100nm structures are described. The limits of preventing a technology from further going down the dimensional scale are analyzed.Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples, Zheng Cui covers state-of-the art technologies in nanofabrication including:Photon-based lithographyCharged particle beams lithographyNanofabrication using scanning probesNanoscale replicationNanoscale pattern transferIndirect nanofabricationNanofabrication by self-assemblyNanofabrication: Principles, Capabilities and Limits will serve as a practical guide and first-hand reference for researchers and practitioners working in nanostructure fabrication and also provides a "tool box" of various techniques that can be easily adapted in different fields of applications.Written for: Nanoscience and nanotechnology researchers and engineers, technical professionals and academic researchers in the fields of electrtonics, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering.

Nanofabrication: Principles, Capabilities, and Limits provides a practical guide to nanofabrication technologies and processes. It was first published in 2008 and is now in an updated third edition. The book introduces readers to the fundamentals and recent developments in nanofabrication techniques, with chapters covering optical lithography, electron beam lithography, and nanoimprinting lithography, as well as nanofabrication by focused ion beams, scanning tips, self-assembly, and nanoscale pattern transfer by etching and deposition. There is also a chapter describing various tricks that enable the fabrication of nanostructures that would otherwise be impossible using traditional methods. The unique feature of this book is that each technique introduced is not only about its capabilities but also its limits so that the readers are fully aware of the best options to choose from a toolbox of nanofabrication processes covered in the book.
