Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Ph. D. thesis addresses nanostructure fabrication techniques based on electron beam lithography and their application to: the creation of ultra-fast metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors and quantum effect transistors, the investigation of light emission from silicon, and the enhancement of resolution in magnetic force microscopy. Specifically, this thesis covers the following topics. (1) The implementation and characterization of an ultra-high resolution electron beam lithography (EBL) system created by modifying a scanning electron microscope. (2) The exploration of minimum achievable feature sizes using ultra-high resolution EBL and a lift-off process with polymethyl-methacrylate resists. 10 nm features, which are among the smallest ever achieved using EBL, have been obtained using a double shadow evaporation technique, a ultra-high resolution EBL technique, and a technique utilizing EBL, reactive ion etching, and subsequent wet etching. (3) The application of ultra-high resolution EBL technology to the fabrication of ultra-fast metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors. The fastest response time reported to date has been achieved in this project. (4) The fabrication and characterization of modulation doped field effect transistors. Quantum effects have been observed in a point contact device. (5) The fabrication of sub-50 nm Si structures using EBL, reactive ion etching (RIE) and subsequent wet etching for the study of photoluminescence (PL) from Si. PL has been observed from an array of 20 nm diameter pillars. And finally, (6) the application of high resolution EBL to the study of magnetic materials.

Download or read book Nanostructure Science and Technology written by Richard W. Siegel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-09-30 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timely information on scientific and engineering developments occurring in laboratories around the world provides critical input to maintaining the economic and technological strength of the United States. Moreover, sharing this information quickly with other countries can greatly enhance the productivity of scientists and engineers. These are some of the reasons why the National Science Foundation (NSF) has been involved in funding science and technology assessments comparing the United States and foreign countries since the early 1980s. A substantial number of these studies have been conducted by the World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC) managed by Loyola College through a cooperative agreement with NSF. The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Committee on Technology's Interagency Working Group on NanoScience, Engineering and Technology (CT/IWGN) worked with WTEC to develop the scope of this Nanostucture Science and Technology report in an effort to develop a baseline of understanding for how to strategically make Federal nanoscale R&D investments in the coming years. The purpose of the NSTC/WTEC activity is to assess R&D efforts in other countries in specific areas of technology, to compare these efforts and their results to U. S. research in the same areas, and to identify opportunities for international collaboration in precompetitive research. Many U. S. organizations support substantial data gathering and analysis efforts focusing on nations such as Japan. But often the results of these studies are not widely available. At the same time, government and privately sponsored studies that are in the public domain tend to be "input" studies.
