Description

Atomically precise manufacturing (APM) is an emerging manufacturing technology in which materials, structures, devices, and finished goods are fabricated such that every atom is positioned at an exactly-specified location relative to the other atoms- However, one factor limiting this technology is the short lifetime of the probe that manipulates individual atoms- The key goal of this program is to develop commercial probes with extended lifetimes for tip-based atomically-precise manufacturing- The current project will leverage the atomically precise hydrogen resist lithography method developed by Lyding as an enabling technology for APM-
