  • Patent number: 7084075
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of structures in the nanometer range from larger, existing structures. An elastic strain field in generated in an already structured layer and optionally in a substrate. A strain-dependent diffusion and reaction process subsequently takes place, wherein the existing structure can be reduced in a reproducible manner by means of material transport.
