To characterize the electrical properties of the assembled Ni-Si NWs, we performed additional microfabrication processes to pattern the electrodes (Figure 4).
Zhao et al. used combination of multiple molding and metal deposition processes to pattern metal layer on the vertical sidewall of the structure [4].
To date, the marriage between pattern and process based methods has yet to produce cohesive and practical joint theories, largely due to the conundrum in process-to-pattern projection (not simply 1-to-1; rather, could often be 1-to-many and many-to-1).
Completed monolayer graphene is utilized in the design without any demand of manufacture process to form the periodic patterns.
Levine, J. M. Species diversity and biological invasions: relating local process to community pattern.
Several research groups, including one at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM, have built and tested photonic-crystal waveguides on silicon wafers, but their fabrication technique is the same complex, repetitive and expensive lithographic process used to pattern today's microchips.
Thus, the overall process used to pattern a submicron catalyst is much simpler than conventional resist-based methods such as lift-off or top-down etching [31].
