Advanced nanostructure and device fabrication

Nanoscale science and technology is one of the fastest growing research areas in recent years. Nanofabrication techniques are the cornerstone for this rapid growth; without this capability, nanotechnology would be a mere speculation. In fact, while the birth of nano-science/technology was occurred over fifty years ago, from Richard Feynman’s famous 1959 lecture “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom”, growth in this field was rather slow in its first 30 years - mainly due to the lack of nanofabrication capability (and its accessibility). It is only since the mid-1990s that nano-research has experienced explosive grown, coinciding with the development and more availability of a broad range of nanofabrication techniques. The nanotechnology industry has experienced a similar fast growth since a decade later.
