Description
Basics of the bottom-up approach to nanofabrication, particularly the possibilities and limits of lithographic techniques as a tool in nanofabrication. Optical lithography and lithography with electron beams, nanofabrication with ion beams, nanolithography by nanoprinting and microcontact, methods based on proximity microscopy (local oxidation method and other nanolithographies based on AFM, nanofabrication, and nanomanipulation based on STM and SNOM).
Specific competencies
- Acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in order to follow future doctoral-level training in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
- Capability of students from one area of knowledge (e.g., physics) to communicate and interact scientifically with colleagues from other areas of knowledge (e.g., chemistry) in the resolution of problems arising in molecular nanoscience and nanotechnology.
- Understand the methodological approaches used in nanoscience.
- Know the main nanofabrication techniques of molecular systems.
