| Abstract Scope |
Bottom-up methods can be used to make large quantities of nanoparticles through a series of chemical reactions. However, top-down approaches are usually needed to synthesize complicated nanosystems. Electron beam lithography and focused ion beam lithography are two examples of top-down nanofabrication techniques. Like most top-down techniques, they are expensive, slow, and planar. This makes the task of building large-scale, three-dimensional functional structures difficult. Scaling-up nanofabrication is not a trivial task. Nonlinear optical effects can be used to pattern or grow polymeric and composite structures in three dimensions. Here, we will discuss usage of femtosecond-laser patterning as an alternative method of making three-dimensional nano and micro patterns for various applications. Femtosecond laser based microfabrication is scalable and can be used to manufacture large volumes of micro- and nanostructures quickly and inexpensively. |
