KGaA, Weinheim ISBN: 978-3-527-31739-4 j3 1 Top-Down Fabrication of Nanostructures Ming Liu, Zhuoyu Ji, and Liwei Shang 1.1 Introduction The top-down approach to nanofabrication involves the creation of nanostructures from a large parent entity. This type of fabrication is based on a number of tools and methodologies which consist of three major steps: 1) The deposition of thin films/coatings on a substrate. 2) Obtaining the desired shapes via photolithography. 3) Pattern transfer using either a lift-off process or selective etching of the films Compared with general chemical fabrication and processing methods, top-down fabrication techniques for the creation of nanostructures are derived mainly from the techniques applied for the fabrication of microstructures in the semiconductor industry. In particular, the fundamentals and basic approaches are mostly based on micro-fabrications. In this chapter, methods of top-down nanofabrication will be discussed, with attention being focused primarily on methods of lithography, especially optical, electron-beam, X-ray and focused ion beam lithography. A brief introduction will also be provided on how to create nanostructures using various methods of thin film deposition and etching materials. Finally, the methods for pattern transfer through etching and lift-off techniques will be discussed. In the past, top-down fabrication techniques have represented an effective approach for nanostructures and, when complemented with bottom-up approaches during the past few decades, have led to amazing progress having been made with a variety of nanostructures.

Till recently, in order to distinguish between these fakes and original prints, art historian specialized in art prints have been using only magnifiers (magnifying lenses). The aim of the present study was to set up a scientific method based on non-invasive techniques to find out differences between photoengraving reproducing etching of the century XVIII and original etching of the century XVII, and to document them. To this aim, several devices were tested: IR reflectography, Portable X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzers (XRF) and optical microscope. We aimed at analysing mainly the kind ink used and the lines. We chose not to analyse the kind of used paper, since for forged prints antique paper can be used as support. The IR response of the two kinds of print, was found to be not relevant. Ink components, as analysed by XRF were not to be distinguished between the ones used for photoenvravings and for the original prints. With the microscope, small areas showing lines were investigated with a 10X enlargement. Obtained macrophotographies allowed to point out a lot of differences between the two prints.

The two-dimensional cartographic framework is ideal for portraying distance relationships, describing routes and boundaries, and revealing causal similarities in spatial patterns. Yet in the news media, where the linear structure of printing type dominated for centuries the format of newspapers and magazines, the map's areal organization of sym­ bolically coded information has deterred the widespread use of journalistic cartography. Not surprisingly, the development of reproduction technology that treated the page as a single image, rather than as an array of parallel lines Mark Monmonier is Professor of of type, preceded a fuller use of news maps.

ABSTRACT. The first practicable photomechanical system-contact-screen photogravure-was invented in 1852 by W. H.F. Talbot of England. Many of the approaches introduced by Talbot are still used in current practice: contact cross-line "master" and "working" screens: metal plate etching through a bichromated gelatin emulsion: etching with ferric chloride solutions of different concentrations: and selective local etching for "retouching" purposes. To provide the tiny image ink-holding components in the printing plate, Talbot used fine gauze fabrics for the contact cross-line screens and fine resin particles (aquatint) applied as a powder or liquid. He also experimented with contact screens of ruled lines on paper: scored cartilage: waxed paper with scribed lines: aquatint pattern on paper and a blackened film with uniform grid of clear circular openings. INTRODUCTION By 1852, the year in which the first practicable photo- this coating was insufficient for camera exposures but ade- mechanical system was introduced, two different approaches quate for photogenic drawings (photograms) and contact had been devised-heliogravure (1826), and chemically etched printing.

Preoccupied with high quality art reproduction and graphic design, these journals were conceived and executed as art objects and examples of fine book craftsmanship, concerned with the physical form and appearance of the periodical as such. Their publication advanced Russian book art and stimulated the development of graphic design, giving it a status comparable to that of painting or sculpture.

  • Printed Circuit Board
    Printed circuit board From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Part of a 1983 Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer board; a populated PCB, showing the conductive traces, vias (the through-hole paths to the other surface), and some mounted electrical components PCB Layout Program A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, or traces, etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. Alternative names are printed wiring board (PWB),and etched wiring board. A PCB populated with electronic components is a printed circuit assembly (PCA), also known as a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). PCBs are rugged, inexpensive, and can be highly reliable. They require much more layout effort and higher initial cost than either wire-wrapped or point-to-point constructed circuits, but are much cheaper and faster for high- volume production. Much of the electronics industry's PCB design, assembly, and quality control needs are set by standards that are published by the IPC organization. [edit] Manufacturing A PCB as a design on a computer (left) and realized as a board assembly with populated components (right). The board is double sided, with through-hole plating, green solder resist, and white silkscreen printing. Both surface mount and through-hole components have been used. [edit] Patterning (etching) The vast majority of printed circuit boards are made by bonding a layer of copper over the entire substrate, sometimes on both sides, (creating a "blank PCB") then removing unwanted copper after applying a temporary mask (eg. by etching), leaving only the desired copper traces.

  • Beyond Photography: an Introduction to William Henry Fox Talbot's
    Beyond Photography: An Introduction to William Henry Fox Talbot’s Notebooks in the Talbot Collection at the British Library Mirjam Brusius Referring to his photograph ‘Queen’s College Oxford’ (fig. 1) in The Pencil of Nature (1844- 1846), which was the first photographically illustrated book, William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) stressed the photograph’s superior way of recording inscriptions: ‘It frequently happens, moreover – and this is one of the charms of photography – that the operator himself discovers on examination, perhaps long afterwards, that he has depicted many things he had no notion of at the time. Sometimes inscriptions and dates are found upon the buildings, or printed placards most irrelevant, are discovered upon their walls: sometimes a distant dial-plate is seen, and upon it – unconsciously recorded – the hour of the day at which the view was taken.’1 Fig. 1.
