Eurekalert.org Monday, September 21, 2009Next generation nanotechnology data storage with room temperature AFM lithographyIn developing next generation data storage devices, researchers are employing a variety of nanotechnology fabrication and patterning techniques such as electron-beam lithography, photolithography, microcontact printing, nanoimprinting and scanning probe microscope-based lithography. A decade ago, IBM for instance introduced the Millipede Project, a thermomechanical AFM-based nanopatterning technique that was aimed at data storage systems. In AFM-based lithography, nanopatterns are generated by the mechanical contact between a nanosized tip and a polymeric film surface such as PMMA. In IBM's Millipede system, the fabrication of the nanopatterns on PMMA is achieved using a heated AFM tip at about 350C, although the exact temperature could vary with heating-pulse length and applied force. In addition to the difficulties in the fabrication of heated AFM tips, a relatively large power is consumed because of the very small percentage of heat transmitted from the heated AFM tips to the polyme
