Abstract :
This paper presents a mass-producible method for fabricating nanoparticle assemblies and nanoelectrodes using nanoinjection molded polymer templates. Results are demonstrated for assembly of silica nanoparticles and silver nanoelectrodes on cyclic olefin copolymers (COC) with 375 nm resolution. This method offers an innovative low-cost, high-throughput approach to nano-scale assembly for applications in photonic, electronic and biomedical devices.
