Crystalline surfaces, self assembled structures, and nano-origami as length standards in (nano)metrology
Annotation in Czech
This JRP aims to develop new types of standards in the nanometre and sub-nanometre range to trace back instruments to the SI unit of length with a small uncertainty of u(h) = 10 pm (for step height prototypes) and to reveal characteristics of the instruments (flatness). New techniques will be developed by using the nature of crystalline materials as well as by using a promising lithographic technique based on block co-polymers. Another aim for the JRP is the use of the nano-origami technique as a production technique to fabricate structures of nanoscale size. Whereas the first aim will go beyond the current limit of available standards i.e. below 6 nm for step height and below 100 nm for pitch standards, the latter aim and techniques will be useful tocreate geometrically well-defined nano-objects that are necessary for the future validation of such instruments (e.g. AFM for the dimensional measurements of 3D-nano-objects).
