'''E-beam lithography'''<br> | '''E-beam lithography'''<br> | ||
Electron-beam (e-beam) lithography is a highly precise patterning technique that uses a focused beam of electrons instead of light to define structures. It enables the fabrication of extremely small features, reaching dimensions as low as about 10 nanometers. Due to its high resolution and flexibility, it is often used for research, prototyping, and mask fabrication, although it is generally slower and more expensive than optical methods. | Electron-beam (e-beam) lithography is a highly precise patterning technique that uses a focused beam of electrons instead of light to define structures.

'''Nanoimprint lithography'''<br> | |||
Nanoimprint lithography is a patterning technique that relies on mechanically imprinting or stamping nanoscale features onto a surface without the need for irradiation. By pressing a mold into a resist layer, it can replicate fine structures with high fidelity and at relatively low cost. This method is particularly attractive for large-area and high-throughput applications, offering a straightforward alternative to more complex lithographic processes. | Nanoimprint lithography is a patterning technique that relies on mechanically imprinting or stamping nanoscale features onto a surface without the need for irradiation.
