    TOP-DOWN & BOTTOM UP

    Presented by: Shardul Agarwal (CH-9265)

    TOP-DOWN building something

    by starting with a larger component and carving away material. BOTTOM UP building something by assembling smaller components.

    These phrases were coined by the Foresight Institute in 1989.

    Conventional manufacturing processes are "top down," in which material is produced in bulk but not atomically precise. The top-down approach often uses the traditional workshop or microfabrication methods where externally controlled tools are used to cut, mill, and shape materials into the desired shape and order. Micropatterning techniques, such as photolithography and inkjet printing belong to this category.

    e.g. Photolithography, to make copper circuit on a flame retardant wafer

    e.g. Nanosphere lithography - SEM images of a latex nanosphere mask and triangular gold nanoprisms obtained by evaporating gold over colloidal mask.

    Effect of increasing the electrolyte concentration in formation of ordered array.

    General principle of colloid lithography

    It is a molecular manufacturing process to mass produce large atomically precise objects. Bottom-up use the chemical properties of single molecules to cause single-molecule components to self-organize or self-assemble into some useful conformation, rely on positional assembly. These approaches utilize the concepts of molecular self-assembly and/or molecular recognition. e.g. sol-gel synthesis, chemical vapor deposition, chemical precipitation.
