Abstract
Molecular-ruler nanolithography uses individual molecules as building blocks to create nanometer-scale features in a low-cost, high-throughput process. Self-assembled multilayers are used in combination with radiation-sensitive polymeric resists to interface nanometer-scale features with structures fabricated using conventional lithographic methods. This technique is advantageous for its high precision, parallel processing, and low capital investment. Here, we provide an overview of molecular-ruler nanolithography and describe how this technology is being applied to the creation of nanometer-scale devices, patterning of large-area sub-200-nm grating structures, and the fabrication of quartz templates for use as molds in imprint lithography.
