    Nanostructures exhibit dramatic changes in properties when their dimensions fall below 100 nm. There are three types of nanostructures: quantum wells, where one dimension is nanoscale; quantum wires, where two dimensions are nanoscale; and quantum dots, where all dimensions are nanoscale. Nanostructures can be prepared with either a top-down or bottom-up approach. Lithography is a top-down technique where radiation shines through a template onto a resist-coated surface, etching a nanostructure. Lithography can produce complex structures like stacked quantum dot arrays, which exhibit enhanced photoluminescence compared to initial structures.

    NANOSTRUCTURES

    Presentation By: Amandeep Singh Mtech Nano (2yrs)

    INTRODUCTION
    When size of structure falls below 100 nm, dramatic changes in propertys can occur. QUANTUM WELL : If one dimension of the structure is reduced to nano-range, while the other dimension remain large.

    QUANTUM WIRE: If two dimensions are so reduced , one remains large we get a quantum wire . QUANTUM DOT : When all the dimensions reduced to nanometer range .

    WHY WORD .. QUANTUM As the size is reduced there is confinement of the charge carrier, as in case of the quantum confinement. i:e change in properties arises due to quantum mechanical nature of physics.

    PREPERATION OF NANOSTRUCTURES
    BOTTOM UP APPROCH: Processes carried out by sequence of chemical reactions, controlled catalytically. BOTTOM UP APPROACH: The process start with a large scale object or a pattern and gradually reduces its dimension(s). The process is accomplished by technique called Lithography.

    LITHOGRAPHY
    In this process, the radiation shines through a template on to a surface coated with a radiation sensitive resist. The resist is the removed and surface is chemically treated to produce the nanostructure. TYPICAL RESIST : Polymethyl methacrylate (Polymer) THE PROCESS The process starts a square well located on a substrate. The final product is either a quantum dot or a quantum wire.

    STEPS IN FORMATION OF QUANTUM DOT BY ELECTRON BEAM LITHOGRAPHY.

    MORE COMPLEX STRUCTURES Lithography can be used to make more complex structure. For example the process can be repeated to produce the stack of quantum dots arranged in a array.

    THE FINAL STRUCTURE


    The final quantum dot array formed from four cycled, multiple quantum well arranged on the substrate. The figure below shows 24 quantum dot array consisting of six columns of four stacked quantum dots.

    A P P L I C AT I O N
    The advantage of fabricating such a quantum dot array is that it produces a greatly enhanced photo-luminescent output of light The figure below shows a PL spectrum from a quantum dot array that is more than 100 times stronger than the spectrum obtained from initial multiple quantum wells.
