ABSTRACTA large area nanogap electrode fabrication method combinig conventional lithography patterning with the of focused ion beam (FIB) is presented. Lithography and a lift-off process were used to pattern 50 nm thick platinum pads having an area of 300 μm × 300 μm. A range of 30-300 nm wide nanogaps (length from 300 μm to 10 mm ) were then etched using an FIB of Ga+ at an acceleration voltage of 30 kV at various beam currents. An investigation of Ga+ beam current ranging between 1-50 pA was undertaken to optimise the process for the current fabrication method. In this study, we used Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the damage depth in various materials by the Ga+. Calculation of the recoil cascades of the substrate atoms are also presented. The nanogap electrodes fabricated in this study were found to have empty gap resistances exceeding several hundred MΩ. A comparison of the gap length versus electrical resistance on glass substrates is presented. The results thus outline some important issues in low-conductance measurements. The proposed nanogap fabrication method can be extended to various sensor applications, such as chemical sensing, that employ the nanogap platform. This method may be used as a prototype technique for large-scale fabrication due to its simple, fast and reliable features.

Traditional optical lithography techniques to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures are complicated and time consuming. Due to the capability to replicate nanostructures repeatedly in a large area with high resolution and uniformity, nanoimprint (NI) has been recognized as one of the promising approaches to fabricate 3-D nanostructures with high throughput and low cost. This paper introduces a novel 3-D nanostructure fabrication method by nanoimprint on silicon substrate. Nanoscale gratings and microlens array are taken as examples of 3-D nanostructures fabricated by nanoimprint. High fidelity demonstrates the possibility of nanoimprint to fabricate 3-D nanostructures on silicon substrate.

Heteroepitaxial Ge-on-Si could have many applications which include: high mobility p-channel fieldeffect transistors (FETs), large area Ge-based IR or X-ray detectors, or as a substrate for the growth of other epitaxial semiconductors. In particular, the close lattice match between Ge and GaAs and Ge and ZnSe offers a potential for Ge to be used as an interlayer for a GaAs/Si or ZnSe/Si technology.Additionally, with the Si substrate as the "foundation" for further epitaxial semiconductors, thereisa built-in thermal match for any device that must be intimately bonded to Si-based circuitry. Thisis particularly critical in the case of HgCdTe IR focal plane arrays that are indium bump-bonded to aSi multiplexer which will experience thermal cycling in use. This contribution briefly reviews some ofour recent results in the high temperature growth of Ge epitaxial films on Si(100) and Si(l 11) substrates which are being developed for use as a template for HgCdTe/CdZnTe growth.

Metallic nanogaps have great values in plasmonics devices. However, large-area and low-cost fabrication of such nanogaps is still a huge obstacle, hindering their practical use. In this work, inspired by the cracking behavior of the tomato skin, a water-swelling-driven fabrication method is developed. An Au thinfilm is deposited on a super absorbent polymer (SAP) layer. Once the SAP layer absorbs water and swells, gaps will be created on the surface of the Au thinfilm at a centimeter-scale. Further experimentation indicates that such Au gaps can enhance the Raman scattering signal. In principle, the water-swelling-driven fabrication route can also create gaps on other metallic film and even nonmetallic film in a low-cost way.
