Study on the Size Shrinking and Shape Changing of Solid-State Nanopores

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanopores etched in the solid-state membranes have become the hotpot of nanotechnology research. Various methods for fabricating solid-state nanopores have been developed and reported, but the fabrication of nanopore is also a difficult challenge. In this paper, we milled nanopores of different sizes in the free-stand and low-stress solid-state membranes. And then the area around nanopores were scanned with the diffused ion beam, we found that the sediment around will melt and the shape of the nanopore becomes circular.
