We demonstrate here a PMMA-mediated nanotransfer printing technique for reliably transferring nanoscale building blocks and sequentially building purpose-directed nanostructures. The utilization of PMMA film as a mediator introduced several features to this transfer approach, such as high efficiency, fidelity, universality, controllability, and multilevel transferability. Various nanostructures, such as an SWNTs-on-SAM structure, high-density crossbar array of SWNTs, a hybrid n-ZnO nanowire/p-SWNT cross-junction, a gold nanostructure-SAM-gold sandwich structure, a zigzag array of SWNTs, and gold nanobowl array were generated with this transfer approach. A metallic-semiconducting SWNT cross circuit was built to demonstrate its potential application in fabricating nanoelectronic devices. This technique paves the way to generate various structures with homo- or heterogeneous nanoscale building blocks, which facilitates exploring their fundamental properties and building novel devices.
我们在此展示一种聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)介导的纳米转移印刷技术,用于可靠地转移纳米级构建块并依次构建目标导向的纳米结构。利用PMMA薄膜作为介质为这种转移方法引入了几个特点,如高效率、高保真度、通用性、可控性和多级转移性。通过这种转移方法生成了各种纳米结构,如自组装单分子层(SAM)上的单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)结构、SWNTs的高密度交叉阵列、混合的n型氧化锌纳米线/p型SWNT交叉结、金纳米结构-SAM-金三明治结构、SWNTs的锯齿形阵列以及金纳米碗阵列。构建了一个金属-半导体SWNT交叉电路,以证明其在制造纳米电子器件方面的潜在应用。该技术为用同质或异质纳米级构建块生成各种结构铺平了道路,这有助于探索它们的基本特性并构建新型器件。
