Nanophotonics and Nanofabrication - 9783527321216

Ohtsu (electrical engineering and information systems, U. of Tokyo, Japan) presents 11 chapters outlining the principles and practices of nanofabrication using the optical technology of nanophotonics, a technology fusing optical fields and matter that utilizes the nanometer-sized light localized on the surface of a nanometric material. Following the introductory chapter discussing the history and present status of nanophotonics and its application to nanofabrication, the second chapter presents the principles of nanofabrication based on dressed-photon models, describes adiabatic and nonadiabatic processes in nanofabrication, and demonstrates their application to chemical vapor deposition and lithography. The remaining ten chapters discuss practices of nanofabrication, including nanofabrication using self-organization and related technology to control the size and position of fabricated nanometric materials, the fabrication of semiconductor quantum dots, lithography based on nanophotonics, x-ray device fabrication using nanophotonic lithography, and periodic nanostructure formation on hard thin films using femtosecond laser ablation, among other topics.
