  • Strongly textured atomic ridge and dot fabrication
    Patent number: 6413880
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing atomic ridges on a substrate comprising: depositing a first metal on a substrate; heating the substrate to form initial nanowires of the first metal on the substrate; depositing a second metal on the initial nanowires of the first metal to form thickened nanowires that are more resistant to etching than the initial nanowires; and etching the substrate to form atomic ridges separated by grooves having a pitch of 0.94 to 5.35 nm. The present invention also provides a method for forming Au and other metal nanowires that may be used for electrical conductors and both positive and negative etch masks to form a plurality of ridges at a pitch of 0.94 to 5.35 nm containing at least two adjacent grooves with widths of 0.63 to 5.04 nm.
