    Top Down Technique in Nanotechnology

    Uploaded by

    حمداوي عبد الباسط
    Nanotechnology involves building materials and devices on an atomic and molecular scale. There are two main approaches for synthesizing nanomaterials: top-down and bottom-up. Top-down approaches involve breaking down bulk materials into nano-sized structures using techniques like mechanical methods such as cutting, etching, grinding or ball milling, or lithographic techniques like photo and electron beam lithography. While top-down approaches allow for large-scale production, their costs increase exponentially with newer technologies and they have physical limits and challenges with heat dissipation for smaller structures.

    1 What is Nanotechnology ?
    Nanotechnology is a field of research and innovation concerned with building 'things'
    - generally, materials and devices - on the scale of atoms and molecules. A nanometre
    is one-billionth of a metre: ten times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. The diameter
    of a human hair is, on average, 80,000 nanometres. At such scales, the ordinary rules
    of physics and chemistry no longer apply

    2 Classification of Techniques for Synthesis of Nanomaterials


    Nanotechnology has grown at an enormous rate for the past decades, and recent
    advances in nanostructured materials and nanodevices have opened up new
    opportunities in a variety of applications, ranging from information and
    communication technology to healthcare and medicine
    There are two general approaches for the synthesis of nanomaterials as shown in
    Figure below :
    a) Top- down approach
    b) Bottom–up approach

    3 Top- down approach


    Top-down approach involves the breaking down of the bulk material into nanosized
    structures or particles.
    Top-down synthesis techniques are extension of those that have been used for
    producing micron sized particles.
    Top-down approaches are inherently simpler and depend either on removal or
    division of bulk material or on miniaturization of bulk fabrication processes to
    produce the desired structure with appropriate properties.
    4 The Difference Between Top-down and Bottom–up

    5/ Top-down methods
    1- Mechanical methods :

    * Cutting, etching , grinding

    * Ball milling

    2- Lithographic techniques:

    - Photo lithography

    - Electon Beam Lithography


    Advantages of Top-Down
    - Large scale production: Deposition over a large substrate is possible

    - Chemical purification is not required

    Disadvantages of Top-Down
    - Cost of new machines and clean room environments grows exponentially with
    newer technologies

    - Physical limits of photolithography are becoming a problem

    - With smaller geometries and conventional materials , heat dissipation is a problem

    Conclusion
    Currently Top-down processing has been and will be the dominant process in semi-
    conductor , mainly because of the huge existing infrastructure in the microelectronics
    industry which utilises top-down etching approaches to create electronic features on
    the surface of silicon wafers.
