Nanomembrane-assembled nanophotonics and optoelectronics: from materials to applications

Abstract

Nanophotonics and optoelectronics are the keys to the information transmission technology field. The performance of the devices crucially depends on the light-matter interaction, and it is found that three-dimensional (3D) structures may be associated with strong light field regulation for advantageous application. Recently, 3D assembly of flexible nanomembranes has attracted increasing attention in optical field, and novel optoelectronic device applications have been demonstrated with fantastic 3D design. In this review, we first introduce the fabrication of various materials in the form of nanomembrane. On the basis of the deformability of nanomembranes, 3D structures can be built by patterning and release steps. Specifically, assembly methods to build 3D nanomembrane are summarized as rolling, folding, buckling and pick-place methods. Incorporating functional materials and constructing fine structures are two important development directions in 3D nanophotonics and optoelectronics, and we settle previous researches on these two aspects. The extraordinary performance and applicability of 3D devices show the potential of nanomembrane assembly for future optoelectronic applications in multiple areas.

“…Nano-origami [ 170 ] is a term that has been used to describe methods that have been developed in the last few years for the assembly of defined geometric structures using DNA as a scaffolding material [ 171 ]. This has been applied in molecular scale nanophotonics and optoelectronics [ 172 , 173 ], encompassing the computational power of memristor neural network technology [ 174 , 175 ]. This offers significant advances in information transmission technology [ 3 , 6 ] by 3D photonic micro-objects (10–20 μm nanoparticles) [ 170 ].…”
