Top-Down Nanofabrication

Top-down nanofabrication is the process of taking any application and shrinking it down to the nanoscale. Of course the above definition is just a simple way of understanding what is top-down nanofabrication, but if you want to understand the core of how to miniaturize an application such as copper, the steps are somewhat complicated.

Please read the following document on Top-Down Nanofabrication, the document provides a more in-depth analysis of the procedures for shrinking an application down to the size of just a few nanometers. The document also contains some images to help you see what atoms look like and how scientists arrange them at the nanoscale level.
