DNA is the hereditary material that contains our unique genetic code. Since the first demonstration of two-dimensional (2D) nanopatterns by using designed DNA origami ∼10 years ago, DNA has evolved into a novel technique for 2D and 3D nanopatterning. It is now being used as a template for the creation of sub-10 nm structures via either 'top-down' or 'bottom-up' approaches for various applications spanning from nanoelectronics, plasmonic sensing, and nanophotonics. This perspective starts with an histroric overview and discusses the current state-of-the-art in DNA nanolithography. Emphasis is put on the challenges and prospects of DNA nanolithography as the next generation nanomanufacturing technique.
DNA 是携带我们独特遗传密码的遗传物质。自大约 10 年前首次通过设计的 DNA 折纸术展示二维 (2D) 纳米图案以来,DNA 已经发展成为一种用于二维和三维纳米图案化的新型技术。现在,它被用作通过“自上而下”或“自下而上”方法创建亚 10nm 结构的模板,用于从纳米电子学、等离子体传感和纳米光子学等各种应用。本观点从历史概述开始,并讨论了 DNA 纳米光刻技术的现状。重点介绍了 DNA 纳米光刻作为下一代纳米制造技术所面临的挑战和前景。
