Site-Directed Molecular Assembly on Templates Structured with Electron-Beam Lithography

Abstract: We describe a simple method for patterning biomolecular films on surfaces with high resolution. A conventional polymeric resist is structured by electron-beam lithography. The exposed and developed patterns are then used for the directed self-assembly (SA) of a first molecule from solution. Removal of the remaining resist allows the SA of a second species. We illustrate the potential of the approach by assembling on gold (Au) substrates two alkanethiols of contrasting terminal functionality. The patterns have … Show more

“…Another independent determination of σ on an array of circles of 70 nm average diameter provided us with a consistent value of 3.2 nm. This indicates that the lineedge roughness is in the range of 4 nm, close to the 3.4 nm previously reported by Stamou et al for a similar patterning method of thiol SAMs on gold [7]. The value of ∼4 nm found for σ corresponds to a limiting feature size of about 15 nm, in the range of or below the size of most organic macromolecules in solution.…”

“…replacing silanes with thiols [7]. Here, we extend this previous work to a wider range of thiols, and provide a comparison of the two patterning methods, silanes on silicon on the one hand, and thiols on gold surfaces on the other hand.…”

“…A suitable tool for the synthesis of patterned structures is electron-beam lithography. [24][25][26] In a high vacuum, the accelerated electrons are focused on a substrate by lens systems. Nonsensitive hydrogel patterns based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) on Si substrates were synthesized by using the focused electron beam (typically with diameter d % 10 nm) of a field-emission electron microscope.…”

“…In order to achieve high-density of ReRAM, the device needs to be fabricated at the nanoscale. Generally, lithographic techniques have been used to fabricate ordered nanostructures 9 10 11 , but these methods require a high production cost and a long processing time. Some non-conventional techniques have been introduced to overcome the problems.…”
