Nano-robots are controllable machines at the nano (10-9 ) meter or molecular scale that are composed of nano-scale components. With the modern scientific capabilities, it has become possible to attempt the creation of nanorobotic devices and interface them with the macro world for control. There are countless such machines that exist in nature and there is an opportunity to build more of them by mimicking nature. Even if the field of nanorobotics is fundamentally different than that of macro robots due to the differences in scale and material, there are many similarities in design and control techniques that eventually could be projected and applied. A roadmap towards the progression of this field is proposed and some design concept and philosophies are illustrated. Two types of control mechanisms are given with examples and further hybrid mechanisms are proposed. There are many applications for nanorobo tic systems and its biggest impact would be in the area of medicine. Introduction Microlithography is a manufacturing process for producing highly accurate, microscopic, 2-dimensional patterns in a photosensitive resist material. These patterns are optically projected replicas of a master pattern on a durable photomask, and they are typically made of a thin patterned layer of chromium on a transparent glass plate. At the end of the lithographic process, the patterned photoresist is used to create a useful structure in the device that is being built. For example, trenches can be etched into an insulator, or a uniform coating of metal can be etched to leave a network of electrical wiring on the surface of a semiconductor chip. Microlithography is used at every stage of the semicon- ductor manufacturing process. An advanced chip design can have 50 or more masking levels, and approximately 1/3 of the total cost of semiconductor manufacture can be attributed to microlithographic processing. MICROFABRICATIONTraditionally, integrated circuits have been manufactured by use of microfabrication techniques that have been classified as machining processes. Figure 1.3 shows the standard route followed to produce an integrated circuit. The same flowchart can be used for producing any microscale product made with silicon-based materials. The chart shows the basic functions of initially cleaning the substrate, applying a thin film using many deposition techniques, applying lithographic techniques to apply mask material, etching to form the required shape of the microscale features, removing the mask material using chemical or plasma etching, and finally characterizing the nature of the created structure.In addition to producing nanofabrication tools for the manipulation of single atoms or clusters of atoms and molecules, in 2000, the semiconductor industry began producing field effect transistors with nanoscale features. The Pentium 4 microprocessor contains some 42 million transistors connected to each other on a single piece of silicon. In order to do this, silicon grown by the Czochralski process no longer produces a defect-free substrate for the deposition of nanoscale transistors. Producers of silicon wafers routinely deposit a defect-free single crystal silicon layer using a gaseous deposition technique. Engineers also deposit an oxide layer with low capacitance prior to the deposition of the thin silicon layer. This is known as silicon-on-insulator technology. This technology increases the speed with which transistors can be switched on and off. Another novel way of increasing the speed further still is to slightly strain the silicon lattice by forming a silicon-germanium blend that increases the mobility of electrons. To insulate the gate of the transistor, a thin layer of silicon dioxide has traditionally been deposited to conventional substrates. A material with a high dielectric constant is being developed to replace the use of silicon dioxide. NANOFABRICATION USING SOFT LITHOGRAPHYNanofabrication has developed from a direct requirement to increase the density of transistors to a single piece of silicon. However, nanofabrication can be used to develop products other than those for the semiconductor industry. For example, nanofabrication is being developed to construct devices such as resonant tunneling diodes and transistors and single electron transistors and carbon nanotube transistors. The most common type of transistor being developed for use at the nanoscale is the field effect transistor.Such a transistor and also its physical features, such as source, drain, and gate, as well as each component of the fabricated transistor in relation to the substrate. Short channels of less than 100 nm, gate oxide tunneling effects occur where gate voltages no longer controls the transistor’s source-drain current flow. The challenge for nanofabrication of these devices is to deposit materials in a physical way that will faithfully reproduce device function. |
