    The Nano World


    The Nano world

     The Global market leader for tips for Scanning Probe Microscopy and Atomic Force
    Microscopy
     Sphere of influence of nanotechnology.
    Scanning Probe Microscopy(SPM)

     A branch of microscopy that forms images of surfaces using a physical probe that scans
    the specimen.
     Founded in 1981, with the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope, an instrument
    for imaging surfaces at the atomic level.
    Atomic Force Microscopy

     Is a type of scanning probe microscopy(SPM), with demonstrated resolution on the order


    of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit.
    The information is gathered by “feeding” or “touching” the surface with a mechanical
    probe.
    Origin of Nanoscience

     In 1959 it was discussed by the renowned physicist Richard Feynman in his talk There’s
    Plenty of Room at the Bottom, in which he described the possibility of synthesis via
    direct manipulation of atoms.
     In 1960, Egyptian engineer Mohamed Atalla and Korean engineer Dawon Kahng at Bell
    Labs fabricated the first MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor)
    with a gate oxide thickness of 100nm, along with a gate length of 20µm.
     In 1962, Atalla and Kahng fabricated a nanolayer- base metal-semiconductor junction
    (M-S junction) transistor that used gold (Au) thin films with a thickness of 10nm.
    Origin of nanotechnology

     The term “nano-technology” was first used by Norio Taniguchi in 1974.


     In 1986, K. Eric Drexler used the term “nanotechnology” in his book Engines of
    Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology, which proposed the Idea of a nanoscale
    “assembler” which would be able to build a copy itself and of other items of arbitrary
    complexity with atomic control.
     In 1980, the emergence of nanotechnology as a field in occurred through convergence of
    Drexler’s theoretical and public work.
     In 1986, Drexler co-founded The Foresight Institute to help increase public awareness
    and understanding of nanotechnology concepts and implications
    Nanoscience and technology

     Branch of Science that studies systems and manipulates matter on atomic, molecular and
    supramolecular scales/ultra-small scale (the nanometer scale)
    Nanotechnology

     Study of what happens when things get very small – only a few atoms in size.
     Refers to the science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is
    about 1 to 100nanometers.
     Employs the study and application of exceptionally small things in materials science,
    engineering, physics, biology and chemistry.
    Nanotechnology is a very diverse field that is having bigger and bigger impacts on the world.
     Has applications in medicine, cars, spacecraft, food, electronics, and materials science
    just to name a few.
     Refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the
    control of matter on the molecular level in scales smaller than 1 micrometer, normally 1
    to 100 nanometers, and the fabrication of devices within that size range.
    Nanometer

     A unit of spatial measurement that is s10-9 meter, or one billionth of a meter.


     Commonly used in nanotechnology, the building of extremely small machines.
    Nanoscale and nanostructures
    Types of microscopes used in nanoscience and
    nanotechnology
    Electron microscope

     A microscope that uses a beam of accelerated electrons as a source of illumination.


     In 1930, German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll built the first electron
    microscope.
    Atomic Force Microscope

     A type of high resolution scanning probe microscope that has a resolution that you can
    measure in fractions of a nanometer.
     Was pioneered in 1986 by Nobel Prize Winner Gerd Binnig along with Calvin Quate and
    Christoph Gerber
    Scanning Tunneling Microscope

     An instrument for imaging surfaces at the atomic level.


     Its development in 1981 earned its inventors, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer (at IBM
    Zurich), the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986.
